Former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori will not be working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election, an associate, Chief Hope Abijor, has said.
Abijor, a former candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ethiope West Constituency at the State House of Assembly, said this on Wednesday.
He said that Ibori would not be working for the PDP because Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who is the vice presidential candidate of the party, has nothing to show in Oghara.
“Ethiope West especially Oghara use to be PDP but today it’s a new song, the present PDP-led State government has completely abandoned us.
“The infrastructural development the former Governor, Chief James Ibori attracted to Oghara as we speak is a shadow of itself. The Delta State Teaching Hospital, Oghara is just there, Our people use to support PDP because of what we have on the ground but as we speak our roads and other projects have been left to rot away, there is no renovation, nor repairs nor rehabilitation,
“Our people are tired of the PDP government, when we first muted the idea of the party in Oghara, some called for my crucification, now like a seed planted by the river, we are growing as a party every day,” Abijor said.
He added, “I strongly believe that our National leader, Chief James Onanefe Ibori will not work for PDP because he has been wronged by the party even though the daughter is contesting under PDP, I know he will work for us.”
