Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has charged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, Sheriff Oborevwori, to see his victory at the Supreme Court as a test of his preparedness for greater responsibilities in governance.

Governor Okowa, who is the vice-presidential candidate of the PDP, gave the charge in Asaba at a special thanksgiving service on the victory of the party’s gubernatorial candidate at the apex court.

“It was God who saw the gubernatorial candidate through the difficult stages of the court process, he should always put God first in all his dealings,” he said.

The governor used the forum to call on Deltans to extend their hands of fellowship to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who are in 11 camps across the state as a result of the flood that has wreaked havoc in parts of the state, affirming that his administration would spare no effort in making IDPs comfortable in the camps. 

In an interview with newsmen shortly after the thanksgiving service, the PDP governorship candidate and Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Oborevwori, said that his victory at the apex court was for all Deltans, adding that there was no victor, no vanquished. 

“And, I want to say with all due respect, that nobody is good enough to be my enemy nor do I have the ability to hate anybody. So, we are one as a family,” Oborevwori said.
