The recent court ruling on the pre-election matter instituted by the Cyril Ogodo-led faction could be described as the culmination of the unsteady political strategies of All Progressives Congress in Delta State.
On his part, Ogboru, contested the Delta governorship on various political platforms, including Alliance of Democracy , Democratic Peoples Party and Labour Party . Who was the best candidate to confront Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa and from which of the three senatorial zones should that prospective come from? Those were the simple questions, which answers would have clearly defined APC preparedness to take over Delta from PDP.
It was perhaps based on the hidden bumps on the way to the governorship primary that one of the governorship aspirants from Delta North, Dr. Leroy Edozien, withdrew from the contest, describing APC as being the same kettle of fish as PDP. But it was obvious from the calculations of the two opposition juggernauts that Emerhor, in order to prepare for 2023, chose to go to the senate and encouraged Ogboru to ‘go and die’ politically by contesting against the incumbent.
That was the impression created by a former military administrator of Abia State and member of APC national caucus, AVM Frank Ajobena , when he recently dismissed Emerhor’s claim of victory in the February 23, 2019 Delta Central Senatorial poll. “He created confusion among that group to the extent that they could not even come up with a candidate. He didn’t want any of them to emerge. Yet, the Ogodo-led executive was to be the platform to present a Delta North candidate for the party with all the northern candidates, including Chief Okotie Osiobe except Chief Great Ogboru being on the mainstream Delta APC platform which was being championed by Emerhor.
This is because Uduaghan knows that the PDP family, which enabled him serve two terms as Delta State governor, has a father-figure in former governor James Onanefe Ibori.
