Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has called on aspirants in the oncoming local government council elections not to fight over positions as only one person can occupy a position at a time.

He said: “Delta South PDP are united and I want to thank all of you because coming together like this makes the party stronger.

“I did not lose in any local government in Delta South. Whether it was small margin or not I won, but in my Senatorial District I lost in some local governments. So, I am very thankful to Delta South.

“The State Chairman is moving from Delta Central to Delta South and as for the local government council elections let me urge all aspirants to be patient and not to fight for any position because only one person can occupy a position at a time.

“I have come here to assure you that I will not disappoint you people and we will continue to do the right thing. You know, when you do the right thing some people may be angry but a lot of people will be happy.

“In my administration, there is nothing like Governor say, if I want to say anything, I will speak immediately. I thank all of you for the love you have shown me today. My appeal is for you to continue to pray for me to remain focused and to do the right thing always.

“The will of God will continue to prevail because if it is not your turn today it will be your turn tomorrow. Continue to show your leaders respect because that is what they want from all of us. God will continue to unite us and we will continue to achieve for Deltans through our MORE agenda.
