OREROPKE – CHIEFTAIN of the All Progressives Congress, APC and five time governorship candidate in Delta State, Chief Great Ovadje Ogboru has described himself as one of those who would be liberating Delta State from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP come 2019.
Chief Ogboru who also hinted that he would be meeting with ward, local government executives, leaders and elders of the APC in the state next Monday to consult them on his gubernatorial ambition, made his position known on Sunday at Orerokpe, Delta State.
Ogboru in company of other chieftains of the party, made the disclosure during a consultative visit by the senator representing Delta Central senatorial district, Ovie Omo-Agege to ward, council executives, leaders and elders of the party in the area ahead of his re-election bid.
Ogboru while addressing hundreds of APC supporters at the venue, said: “The time for liberation has come and the chief of that liberation is no other person than our president, President Muhammad Buhari who is our chief liberator because he is coming here leading a pack of liberators amongst whom are our comrade chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole himself, our super senator himself Ovie Omo-Agege and my very good self, Chief Ovadje Ogboru who is one of the liberators now.
“With all of us joining hands with you, the liberation for Delta State indeed has started but today is the day for the senator.
“I would speak to you people on Monday as we have all come on behalf of him to seek your consent that he should go back again.”
Earlier, Senator Omo-Agege in his address, appealed to the executives, elders and leaders to elect Ogboru as governor of the state come 2019 describing him as the only man who can win the state governorship election for APC.
He said: “We all know that only one man can win the Delta State governorship election for APC is Chief Great Ovadje Ogboru.
“I am not supporting him because he is an Urhobo man but because he is the only one that can win the governorship election for us.
“Therefore, I and others have gone into the fight (APC crisis), won and lost and the stage is now clear by God’s Grace to return Chief Ogboru as our APC nominee for governor and by God’s Grace, the APC governorship candidate in 2019.”
