The former Governor noted that the peace of the state was very paramount and as such, the Governor Okowa should be allowed to complete second term in office in line with rotation of power that exists in the state.
He said, “we should allow the Anioma people to complete two terms, it is the turn of the Anioma people, don’t let them to deceive you, as you go into the field, be peaceful, we are peaceful people, sell your programmes to the people.”
James Ibori should keep quite, Is it now Ibori Knows it’s democracy, is it because PDP has no Federal might again to help their rigging machinery. Look at the person shouting democracy. He forgot he used federal might and dubious mean s to usurp Chief Ogboru of the mandate the good people of Delta State gave him. Let it be known, even though The ruling party APC use federal might heaven will not fall. Ibori should be careful, Deltans has not forgotten how he and the PDP cronies sapped their wealth. When PDP was the ruling party ,their slogan “if not satisfied with hand written Election result go to the Election tribunal” A word is enough for the wise. this not Pres. Jonathan time. If he make any mistake the ruling party APC will skin him alife.
