The former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori has appealed to the Urhobo people of Delta central senatorial district to continue to support the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa till 2023, when it will be the turn of the Urhobo people to produce the state governor.
Ibori, who made this known recently at Oghara, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, when members of the Urhobo Democratic Assembly (UDA) paid him a courtesy visit, stated that the greatest enemy of the Urhobo people is disunity, advising them to remain united in order to judiciously use their majority advantage in future elections in the state.
He said, “Delta Central and South have both enjoyed their eight years term each, and now that it is the turn of Delta North it is natural that we support them for eight years before it will get to our turn in 2023.”
According to him, “if we support them now, they will also support us when it gets to our turn. And the only way we can be stronger is for us to be relevant in our various wards, units and local government areas.

I know that there are some areas in Urhobo that have issues that needed to be resolved, in no distant time, those issues will be taken care of. In Ethiope West Local Government Area, it is a no go area, even while I was away, PDP won all their elections here. We have no fear here.”
Ibori who assured members of the group of his support, expressed happiness over their activities and urged them to support the Governor Okowa led administration as it will soon get to the turn of the Urhobo people.
Earlier, the National President, Urhobo Democratic Assembly, Chief Arthur Akpowowo had stated that the courtesy visit was to express their happiness over the return of the former governor and also for him (Ibori) to show them the direction to follow ahead of the 2019 elections.
According to him, “we are very happy over your return to your fatherland, and we are here to pledge our loyalty as our national leader. We will always adhere to your instructions and whenever you call on us, we will mobilise all

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference.
