The Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) must be voted out of power next year, stressing that its rule has been hellish for Nigerians.
Oborevwori, who stated this while campaigning in Wards 10, 11, 9, 8 and 7 of Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state, said opportunities are going to be created when elected as governor in 2023 general elections for the unemployed to be taken out of the streets.
Oborevwori, who is also the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, blamed the unemployment in the country on the APC.
“The APC has brought untold hardship to us in the last seven and half years. Things have really gone bad since APC took over power from the PDP and it is only the PDP that can repair what has been destroyed by the APC. PDP will take you people out of the streets and you know that this problem of unemployment everywhere is created by the APC and we must chase them away next year with our votes”, he said.
The gubernatorial candidate also said that; “I will not fail with the MORE Agenda which is my social contract with Deltans. We are going to do everything possible for our victory next year. We are members of one political party and we will not miss the votes. I am here to harvest these votes and we are not going to allow an internal crisis to affect us. Please, vote for all Candidates of the PDP. As far as we are concerned, there is no trouble here.”
“Our youths, women, and leaders are going to be happy as I am going to continue from where our hard-working Governor is going to stop next year. Our Governor, Senator, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa who is the Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party has done very well in the State.”
Meanwhile, the PDP harvested some APC big wigs during the Ward-to-ward campaigns in Ughelli North and Ughelli South Local Government Areas of the State.
At Ward 6 Oteri in Ughelli North Local Government Area, during the Delta State PDP Ward-to-Ward Campaign, Col. Peter Onoriode (Rtd.) defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
