To Spite Omo-Agege, Ogboru ‘Embraces’ PDP Foes After Worst Electoral Outing

Serial governorship candidate in Delta State, Olorogun Great Ogboru on Monday, March 20, 2023 embraced Peoples Democratic Party, PDP leaders in the state after his worst electoral performance in a governorship election in the state.

GWG.ng reports that Ogboru who has contested the governorship election on different platforms from the Alliance For Democracy, AD, Labour Party, Democratic Party of Nigeria, DPN, the All Progressives Congress, APC and most recently, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA made his worst performance in the 2023 poll.

He scored 11,021 votes behind the winner, Sheriff Oborevwori of the PDP, 360,234; Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, APC 240,229 and Kennedy Pela, Labour Party 48,047.

Ogboru defected to APGA after he was edged out of the APC, the party he contested on in 2019 following the ascendancy of Omo-Agege who is in complete control of the structure of the party in Delta. Though the two men collaborated between 2015 and 2019, their relationship quickly deteriorated after Omo-Agege became the Deputy President of the Senate leading to a rivalry that eventually pushed Ogboru out of the APC.

GWG.ng reports that Ogboru had stood with Olorogun Festus Keyamo in rejecting the 2021 congresses produced party executives that were described as Omo-Agege’s houseboys and house girls.

Following the declaration of the result of the governorship election on Monday, Ogboru joined PDP chiefs in the Government House, Asaba for the celebration.

The move by Ogboru was obviously meant as a snub for his former ally turned vicious rival, Omo-Agege.

It is the first time that Ogboru would be seen in public with PDP foes he had contended with in the past.
