...Says Oborevwori candidacy guarantees landslide victory.

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Iyocha Ayu, and the National Working Committee, NWC, have been called upon to stop rhe ongoing sinister moves by a dreaded and undemocratic political cabal from imposing a failed and unpopular former governorship aspirant, Olorogun David Edevbie, on the party and people of Delta State.


The call was made by the leadership of Coalition for Media Politics and Governance, CMPG, on Thursday 14th July, in a statement signed by the group's Chairman, Olorogun Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq, Deputy Chairman Delta North, Engr Emmanuel Momah Chuks and Deputy Chairman Delta South, Hon Toju Ekengbuda.


CMPG posited that the call became necessary so as to save the party from foreseeable disaster in the forthcoming governorship election in the state should the undemocratic cabal succeed in using their powerful allies in high places to manipulate their way to impose an unpopular former governorship aspirant, Edevbie, on the party.


The group noted that the results of the  governorship primary wherein Oborevwori scored 590 votes and Edevbie scored 113 votes, clearly revealed that Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, is far ahead of Edevbie in terms of popularity and leadership bond with the people across board, and possess the capacity to provide good governance.


"Edevbie polled a mere 113 votes and failed at the governorship primary while the winner, Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborerovwori scored 590 votes and was declared our party's governorship candidate in Delta State. 


"The governorship primary was witnessed and keenly supervised by all stakeholders including the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. 


"Edevbie has been scheming dangerously to unscrupulously become the party's candidate through the back door, even though he failed woefully at the primary. His desperate moves to become governor at all cost may greatly affect our party's performance in the 2023 governorship election in Delta.


"Edevbie is the only former governorship aspirant within the party who selfishly and shamelessly and unjustifiably dragged our party candidate to Court over false allegations of certificate forgery, among others. This is unacceptable and our PDP national leadership must act now before Edevbie crumbles the party in the state.


"The sinister move to cause disunity and disaffection within the party is based on Edevbie's erroneous believe that he alone ought to be the next governor of Delta state, and therefore resolved to fight anybody that emerges as candidate of the party for the forthcoming election. 


Edevbie's unprovoked and selfish moves amounts to gross infraction on Delta PDP's robust internal democracy and enviable sportsmanship sustained over the years. The NWC of our party must swing into action and take some decisive steps to stop Edevbie from rocking the boat of our party.


"We therefore urge our amiable national chairman, Senator Iyocha Ayu, our party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and other leaders to invoke the disciplinary measures against Edevbie with a view to averting the foreseeable danger of failure at the governorship election in 2023. 


"Edevbie as an individual, as well as,  his network of undemocratic cabal are not bigger and greater than PDP, our party. They are obviously slowing down the speed of electioneering success in Delta State.


"Oborwvwori is the choice of the people of Delta State, as can be seen from the political mass mobilization of eligible voters orchestrated by members of the Sheriffication Movement in the state. Delta is yellow for Atiku/Okowa and Sheriff/Onyeme 2023. 


"Oborevwori is the worthy governorship candidate of our great party, PDP, in Delta State. We are also confident that darkness shall not prevail over light, his appeal shall succeed, but the party must act to speed up winning strategies ahead of the general elections.


"If Edevbie is unscrupulously imposed on the party through the back door, victory cannot be guaranteed during 2023 governorship election as already posited by political observers in the state. 


"CMPG pledges her loyalty to the PDP and to the state leader/vice presidential candidate of our great party, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa," CMPG said.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
