Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has called on aspirants in the oncoming local government council elections in the Delta South Senatorial District not to fight over positions, saying only one person could occupy a position at a time.

Speaking on Sunday at the PDP Delta South Leaders and Stakeholders Meeting held at the Warri residence of former Governor of the state, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, Governor Oborevwori, thanked leaders of the party in the district for their massive support in the last general elections.

He said: “Delta South PDP are united and I want to thank all of you because coming together like this makes the party stronger.

“I did not lose in any local government in Delta South. Whether it was small margin or not I won, but in my Senatorial District I lost in some local governments. So, I am very thankful to Delta South.

“The State Chairman is moving from Delta Central to Delta South and as for the local government council elections let me urge all aspirants to be patient and not to fight for any position because only one person can occupy a position at a time.

“Look at me I had 38 cases and I won all by the grace of God and that was possible because God wanted it to be so.

“Again, I appeal to you, don’t fight for any position when the time comes God will do it for you. With all the battles we won in 21 local governments out of 25 and with a margin of over 120,000 votes.
