2023: JOHN EWHUBARE SIAKPERE TEAM URGES MEMBERS TO REMAIN COMMITTED TO DELIVERING OBOREVWORI AS GOVERNOR

A Delta – based sociopolitical group, Siapkere Team Support for Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, has reiterated its resolve to deliver the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, and all other candidates of the party in the state and at the federal level.

The group made this vow in a communique issued at the end of an enlarged meeting of its members, coordinators, stakeholders and leaders, held at  Saint Clever College, Aghalokpe, in Okpe Local Government Area.

The meeting, according to the communique, was held at the instance of its Founder and Director-General, Mr. John Ewhubare Siakpere,

The group enjoined all Okpe sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora to mobilize all human and material resources in support and victory of Rt. Hon. Oborevwori.

It also mandated all members to be involved and participate actively in the campaigns for the various elections in order to guarantee victory for all the candidates of the PDP. 

The group pledged absolute loyalty and commitment to the cause of PDP and victory of all its candidates in the forthcoming elections, saying that; “We have placed highest stakes and premium on the victory of Rt. Hon. Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori, the governorship candidate of the party in Delta State and directed our members to spare no efforts to ensure he wins his elections”.

Siakpere Team Support for Oborevwori expressed sadness that the main opponent of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in the contest for the ticket of the gubernatorial ticket of PDP, Chief David Edevbie, had ignored well meaning advice and counsels by Urhobo leaders and other stakeholders in Delta state to drop the idea of seeking further redress in the Supreme Court. 

“We have, however, welcomed the decision of David Edevbie and we are very  optimistic that Rt. Hon. Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori, will, as usual, win the suit at the Supreme Court”, the group said.

The John Ewhubare Siakpere Team urged its members to continue to pray fervently and seek divine intervention for Rt. Hon. Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori, in the last leg of the various litigations against him at the Supreme Court. 

The team implored its Campaign Committee members to enter and penetrate the nooks and crannies of Delta Central Senatorial District and the entire Delta state, to intensify campaigns and sensitisation for the election of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori. 

The group agreed to hold a Victory Party in celebration of the emergence of Rt. Hon. Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori as the governorship candidate of PDP in Delta state and his victory in the various ill – motivated court cases instituted against him, at a date to be made public in November.

Earlier in his opening remarks, Siakpere, said the meeting was imperative in order to prepare the members for the daunting task ahead as the Independent National Electoral Commission had lifted the embargo on campaigns for the 2023 general elections.

He pleaded with members of the group to join the campaign trains of the PDP at all levels, especially at the grassroots, to market the Principal and governorship candidate of the PDP in Delta state to the electorate in Okpe land and beyond.

“I implore you to eschew bitterness and embrace peace as you pursue our goal, during the campaign period.

“Preach love and the spirit of brotherhood as you woo the electorate, particularly members of the opposition, to join us to deliver our candidate, who is obviously the best among the privileged Deltans jostling to become Governor in 2023, during the campaigns,” Siakpere said.

He described Rt Hon Oborevwori as a good man with an impeccable character and robust capacity to deliver on his MORE agenda, stressing that the state would witness even and unbiased phases of development if Rt.Hon Oborevwori was elected as Governor.

On his part, the Chairman of Okpe Local Government, Hon. Isaiah Onoriode Esiovwa, commended the group for supporting all PDP candidates in Delta state, assuring that they would mobilize support for Rt. Hon Oborevwori during the campaigns.

He expressed confidence that Rt Hon Oborevwori would emerge winner in the 2023 general election.

Also, Okpe LGA PDP Chairman, Chief Efe Uko,, said delivering Rt Hon Oborevwori as the Governor of the state was a task that must be done because, according to him, the State PDP governorship candidate remained a good product to sell to the people.
