MANDATE THEFT: PDP’s STRONG HOLD REVEALED!

It has been revealed that despite the wild acceptance of the Peoples General,Chief Great Ovedje
Ogboru by Deltans and the Democratic Peoples Party,DPP, the  Peoples
Democratic Party,PDP has  won virtually all the governorship elections in
the state.

Prime Reporters  gathered that apart from all other senatorial districts in
the state, one of the catchment areas of the PDP is the three Warri
Local Government  Areas especially the forcados area.

Some respondents who spoke with Our Correspondent in Warri South
LGA said "from 1999,PDP has not won any election free and fair in
Delta State". "on the election day, the ballot box entering
the INEC office is not the same as the 0ne the electorates used that goes
into the office,it is the ones loaded with PDP thump printed ballots from the
guest house in forcados and residence of other PDP stalwarts that goes
into the office of the INEC". "Ogboru even won the last election in
Delta State" they add.

The respondents alleged that there were inflation of electoral figures
in the 1999,2003,2007 and 2011 governorship elections in Delta State.

Other factors that worked against the Peoples General,Chief Ogboru
is the power of incumbency, his quick trips abroad as soon as
elections are over,his failure to cut across the various ethnic
groups in the state,his refusal to visit the people at the
grass-roots inspite of his acceptance,poor media publicity of his
electioneering campaigns and failure of presenting himself in his
election court cases.
They called on Chief Great Ogboru to decamp from the Democratic
Peoples Party,DPP, to the All Progressives Congress if he must
actualize his governorship ambition in the state.

But  as the 2015 general elections draw near, there are speculations
that Great Ogboru is likely to run again for the governorship seat. But with his recent defection from DPP to Labour Party,a relartively unknown party in Delta Politics it is not very clear to observers whether Ogboru wants to win the Delta guber race or not.Keen observers of the state politics are also of the opinion that Ogboru may just be Mr. President’s joker as they say LP is an extension of the PDP.Whether true or not we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Meanwhile,Chief Ede Dafinone,one of Ogboru’s staunch supporters has defected to the All Progressives Congress instead of following the Ogboru’s political train to the Labour Party.
