Deltans across the three senatorial districts stayed glued to their television sets on Tuesday 17th May, to watch the explosive documentary on the state wide consultation tour by the incoming local content governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, JP, the Ukodo of Okpe Kingdom.
We call him local content incoming governor because he was not imported from Britain to play politics in Nigeria. He was born here, grew up here, lived all his life here, went to school here, got married here, had his children here and served his constituency and the State without foreign influence, no alien culture or western mental acculturation.
His state wide consultation of PDP leaders and delegates attracted mammoth crowd like never before in since the creation of Delta State.
No governorship aspirant in the ongoing governorship electioneering politics was able to attract general acceptance like our local content incoming governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori and I stand to be corrected.
The 30 minutes documentary captured the mood of the good people of Delta State; the leaders, senior citizens, women, youth, boys and girls. They were in the sun and ignored the rains to welcome and celebrate a man they knew very well, their local content SHERIFF.
Here is an extract that perfectly described their incoming governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori;
“Who nor know sheriff nor know person. Who nor want Sheriff make that person give us chance. No Sheriff, No Governor 2023,” says Delta Girls.
“Sheriff nah we own. We know Sheriff with him Children and Wife. All of them dey here for Delta with us. Sheriff nor go thief our money, he nor go carry Delta money run go Oyibo land. Nah him we want afta Govena Okowa. Sheriff nah we own.” – Rural Elderly mothers in Delta.
“Sheriff nah correct somebody, nor be lie. We AREWA want Sheriff for Govnor. Nah him be our friend for many years. Sheriff nah better somebody. We Arewa; Hausa and Fulani go vote for Sheriff. We nor want another person. Sheriff nah correct somebody.” – Arewa group in Delta.
“Sheriff is a tested and trusted founding member of our party, PDP, and his total loyalty is not in doubt. He respects leaders and elders, very humble, competent and friendly. He is the longest serving Speaker in Delta State House of Assembly. We know him as a promise keeper like governor Okowa. He is the man to succeed our amiable governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa in 2023.” – PDP Leaders in Delta.
“Sheriff nah king of the boys. He dey take carevof boys, buy us keke and buses for transport. Sherif dey school fees for boys and girls. We dey call am Street Credibility Boss. Nah grassroot leader wey we know for Delta State. Who nor want Sheriff nah bad person. We the youths say – No Sheriff, No Governorship election for Delta State. Nah Sheriff we know, nah Sheriff we trust, nah Sheriff be our next governor for the youths.” – Delta Youth.
“We need a governor that will build on governor Okowa’s achievements in Delta State. We want an incorruptible governor in 2023. Not those who stole our money before. Sheriff we know, he has been with us all his life, living in Osubi community in Delta State. You can see the crowd here, young and old, the high and the low, all for Sheriff. Sheriff is our next governor, come 2023.” – Delta Ladies.
“We found in Sheriff, governor Okowa’s successor in 2023. Sheriff is the best man for the job. That arrogant elitist and unscrupulous fellow being pushed and forced on us by those who looted our state’s money in the past cannot be our governor. Sheriff will use Delta money to develop Delta State. He has been a clean person all his life. His enviable track records as Speaker is worthy of emulation. That’s why we came out in large numbers to receive him and endorse him as our preferred governorship candidate for the 2023 election.” – PDP Leaders.
The television documentary aired on AIT and other channels was inspiring and clearly revealed the huge support for Sheriff Francis Oborevwori’s governorship aspiration.
He is well known in Delta State as the Pan Delta Project, standing firmly to defeat his opponents at PDP gubernatorial primary on May 25, 2022.
Sheriff is the real DEAL.
Look no further, be Sheriffied.
