A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta state, Hon. Prince Barnabas Akporehe has congratulated the Governor elect for the state, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori on his emergence as the winner of the governorship polls conducted in the state last Saturday.

Hon. Barnabas, who is from Isoko North Local Government, was an aspirant for the Delta South Senatorial Seat.

Although he had lost the party’s ticket to Michael Diden, also known as Ejele, the chieftain remained faithful to his party and gave his full support to the party by delivering his polling units for PDP.

In a congratulatory message to the governor-elect and made available to newsmen on Tuesday, Hon. Barnabas said he believes in the capability of the new governor and assured Deltans of greater developments from the incoming government.

According to him, he “rejoices with the Governor elect, Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori on his victory at the polls.”

He said despite his failure to secure the party’s ticket for Delta South Senatorial contest, he “did not dump the party but rather served the party and worked very hard to make sure the party won his federal ward 12 and his unit 3 of Oyede town in Isoko North local government, beating the Labour party during the presidential elections and also Defeating the APC during the Governorship elections.”

The senatorial aspirant pledged his full support for the government of Oborevwori and assured all Deltans, including his followers and supporters that the government of Sheriff will build Delta with the MORE Agenda.

The MORE Agenda promises greater developments in all sectors for Delta and the Deltans.
