PDP Rebounds In Delta With Commanding Lead

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in Delta State, Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has taken a near insurmountable lead over his two main rivals in the election with wins in 23 of the 25 local government areas.

From computations, Oborevwori has polled about 72% of the votes though two local government areas known as the stronghold of his chief rival, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege are yet to be returned.

GWG.ng reports that the election cannot be called for Oborevwori because the details of the election the two local government areas are not available.

While Oborevwori has about 72% of the votes so far, Omo-Agege according to computation has 21.1% while the Labour Party candidate, Kennedy Pela has about 4% of the votes.

it is a reverse of fortunes for the Labour Party which took the winds off the sail of the two major parties when Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the party beat all others including the PDP which had fielded the incumbent governor of the state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as its vice-presidential candidate.

According to reports the local government areas where collation has been concluded are; Bomadi, Burutu, Isoko North, Isoko South, Patani, Warri North, Warri South, Warri South West, Ethiope East, Aniocha North, Aniocha South, Ika North East, Ika South, Nndokwa East, Nndokwa West, Oshimili South, Oshimili North, Ukwuani, Sapele, Okpe, Ughelli South, Udu and Uvwie.

The results of Ethiope West and Ughelli North local government areas are the two still being collated.

Ethiope West is the base of the penultimate governor of the state, Chief James Ibori who is backing Omo-Agege who is himself from Ughelli North.

In Ethiope West, the PDP candidate is in comfortable lead in some of the collated Ward results, while the APC candidate trails neck to neck, projections that put Oborevwori in insurmontable lead in the Delta governorship election.
