A Chieftain of Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, in Delta State, Chief Okiemute Oviri-Okwagbe, Wednesday, said that Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had killed power-shift in the state, a long time ago.

Oviri-Okwagbe, in a chat with journalists at his Ekiugbo-Ughelli office, in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, said those advocating powershift were mischief makers that were wasting their time on what was no longer existing in the state.

He said: “Power shift is a word manufactured by PDP cabals to manipulate other political parties. As far as we (DPP) members are concerned, we are not aware that power will shift to Delta North senatorial district come 2015. According to the Nigeria constitution, anyone qualified is eligible and free to contest for the governorship of a state.

“The PDP cabals that are campaigning for power shift are very much aware that PDP chairman cannot come from the same senatorial district as the governor.”
