The Governor of Delta State, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barrister Kingsley Esiso while receiving the defectors observed that PDP will have a smooth sail to victory in the 2019 general elections.

No fewer than five thousand Politicians yesterday, decamped from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP). 

The decampees who were from different local government areas that made up Delta Central Senatorial District peopled largely by the Urhobos were received at a mega political rally held at the Ughelli Township Stadium, Ughelli, Ughelli North local government area of the State. 

Col. Morrison Ideh, Chief Edward Ofomona, Chief Ochuko Johnson, Chief Reuben Oteri, Chief Samuel Umunedi, were among those who led their followers to join the PDP. 

According to Governor Okowa, "it is a thing of joy that those described as big fish in the opposition have come to join us in the PDP." "With these persons that have joined us today, it is a smooth victory for PDP in 2019," the governor said, adding, "we are with God, we are with the people, we are not deceiving people, we tell our people the truth, we are working with our people."

He asserted, "for the 2019 elections, we will hold on to our units and wards, we will not allow anybody to intimidate us, we will win the next election clearly with the massive support we have."

Governor Okowa commended those who decamped to the PDP, disclosing that with the work his administration was doing in the state, the few persons remaining in opposition political parties will join the PDP before the 2019 general elections. 
Chairman of the PDP, Barrister Esiso, stated, "Governor Okowa is working, we believe in the principle of rotation of the governorship seat, Governor Okowa will complete his eight years, we cannot be intimidated."

"Nigerians are tired of APC government, they are tired of hunger, we must have a President of PDP extraction in Aso Rock in 2019, today is to tell the world that the people of Delta Central are fully in support of Governor Okowa in 2019," he said, emphasising, "we cannot follow a political rascal that will come to us every four years to deceive us, we will never accept those who will go to Abuja to disgrace us."

Col. Morrison Ideh, Chief Edward Ofomona, Chief Ochuko Johnson, Chief Reuben Oteri, Chief Samuel Umunedi, in their separate speeches, disclosed that they were attracted to the PDP by the leadership style of Governor Okowa's administration, especially in the delivery of democratic dividends across the state.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

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. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
