APC members working for PDP in Delta – Izoukumor, Ijaw leaders

COORDINATOR of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa Re-Election Committee in Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State, Chief Favour Izoukumor, has said that it was wrong to rupture the power sharing arrangement in the state simply because one man, Chief Great Ogboru, wants to rule the state.

Izoukumor, who is the Commissioner representing Ijaw ethnic nationality on the board of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, told Saturday Vanguard, “No one is undermining the popularity of Great Ogboru, the All Progressives Congress, APC, standard bearer, but you would agree with me that in a democracy, victory is determined by the electorate with whom the power lies.

“The people of Delta have spoken that the incumbent governor, Senator Okowa, has done very well and they will reelect him – it is very clear. Besides, Delta state has a power sharing agreement, howbeit unwritten, and Delta Central, from where Great Ogboru hails has enjoyed power for eight years through Chief James Ibori. Delta South has also enjoyed it through Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and it is only just and right for the Delta North to have their full term.
