…says those consulting on his behalf are political hustlers 

By Festus Ahon, Asaba

THE Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori, weekend, said he has not discussed 2023 gubernatorial ambition with anyone neither has he mandated any person or group of persons to consult political stakeholders or indeed the electorate  about any gubernatorial ambition.

He said he has not given any person or group of persons the mandate to consult political stakeholders or indeed the electorate  about any gubernatorial ambition.

Oborevwori in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Dennis Otu, said: “The attention of the Honourable Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly has been drawn to the activities of some group of persons claiming to be from Rt.Hon. Oborevwori Campaign Organization. 

“These persons are allegedly consulting political stakeholders in Okpe, Uvwie and other Local Government Areas  in Delta State. 

“For the umpteenth time, I wish to state unequivocally that the Rt. Hon. Speaker has not given any person or group of persons the mandate to consult political stakeholders or indeed the electorate about any gubernatorial ambition.

“Infact, this is to distract

 Elder Oborevwori who has his job description clearly cut out for him as the head of the legislature and going about it in a most diligent manner. 

“Therefore, I wish to urge the politically conscious people of Okpe, Uvwie and other Local Government Areas where these political jobbers are operating to please ignore them. 

“Mr. Speaker has never discussed 2023 gubernatorial ambition with anyone neither do these political hustlers have his blessings to consult on his behalf. These mischievous elements are out to heat up the polity.

“I wish to thank Deltans for their love and continuous support for Mr. Speaker as the head of the Legislature”.
