A political support group, Siakpere’s Team for Sheriff Oborevwori has congratulated the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, on his emergence as the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 general elections.
The Director-General of the group, Mr. John Ewhubare Siakpere, who is also the Director-General of the Urhobos in Diaspora Good Governance Initiatives (UDGGI) and Publicity Secretary of Okpe Union, UK, both frontline groups rooting for Rt Hon Oborevwori’s governorship, in a congratulatory message to Rt.Hon Oborevwori, said the Speaker eminently deserved the victory.
He assured Deltans and the delegates that the governorship candidate would not disappoint them, adding that he would justify the confidence reposed in him.
Describing Oborevwori as a would be worthy successor to Governor Okowa, he assured that the Speaker, who is also the National Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, would hit the ground running immediately after his inauguration on May 29, 2023, if given the mandate.
He expressed gratitude to the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for conducting free, fair and transparent primaries, and thanked the delegates for voting overwhelmingly for Oborevwori, which culminated in his resounding victory in the intra-party contest.
“I want to appreciate our great party for its steadfastness and commitment to doing what is right and appropriate for the state. The party was convinced that Sheriff Oborevwori is a square peg in a square hole and the best man to continue and sustain the legacies of Governor Okowa.
“I sincerely appreciate and thank PDP for trusting the Speaker and to assure the party that the Sheriff Oborevwori I know will not disappoint,” Mr. Siakpere added.
