Oborevwori will return in 2027, affirms Ndukwe, backs lka for Delta North Senate ~ Truth Reporters

By Andy Emephia

A former Chairman of Oshimili North local government area in Delta State , Hon Louis Ogugua Ndukwe, has affirmed that for the zoning arrangement not to be altered , Governor Sheriff Oborevwori , should be supported to be elected for a second term in office as Governor in 2027.

Ndukwe premised his assertion on the incontrovertible fact , that any first termer from Delta Central Senatorial district who emerges as Governor , other than Oborevwori , in 2027, would angle for a second term , which will alter the known and expected gentleman,s agreement for power rotation among the three Senatorial districts of the State .

The former Oshimili North Council boss also stated categorically that he is in support of the Delta North Senatorial seat going to the lka nation in 2027.

Ndukwe , speaking with journalists , at the Cenotaph , Asaba , in the Delta State capital, during the formal defection of  Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former Governor Senator lfeanyi Okowa, and the entire Delta PDP family , said , judging from the high level of infrastructural and human capital development in the state , under the Governor,s MORE agenda, it will be fool hardy for anyone to attempt to contest the governorship of the state come 2027

The former Oshimili North Council Chairman was strident in his assertion that Deltans , irrespective of political affiliation, will unanimously support Governor Oborevwori to finish strong , so that the south Senatorial district will come on board in 2031 , while Delta North starts warming up thereafter .

On his rationale for supporting lka federal constituency to produce the Senator for Delta North in 2027, Ndukwe reiterated his earlier stand that Ndokwa nation had a fair share of 12 years at the Senate , under late Senator Patrick Osakwe, after which it moved to lka for 4 years , then culminating in Senator Peter Nwaoboshi assuming the position for eight years under  Aniocha/Oshimili federal constituency , followed by Senator Ned Nwoko of same federal constituency as incumbent Senator .

He therefore stated that Senator Ned Nwoko , having completed the 12 years cycle of the Aniocha/ Oshimili federal constituency turn at the Senate with the four years he will spend which terminates in 2027, the only logical thing, in the interest of equity and fairness, is for lka federal constituency, to take a shot at the Senate in 2027.

According to Ndukwe, "this is so, because the current Deputy Governor , Sir Monday Onyeme, is from Ndokwa, and you do not change a winning team as Governor Oborevwori,s supportive and loyal deputy has proved over time"

Hon Ndukwe commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori , former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa , and the entire PDP family made up of members of the state house of Assembly, stare executive council , local government Chairmen and councillors , leaders and stakeholders across the Senatorial , federal , local government , ward , and unit levels, for taking the bold and courageous step to align with the centre , in order to attract more federal presence and dividends of democracy , in it's capacity as a major stakeholder in the resource allocation to the nation
