Warri South Chairmanship: Oborevwori comes under scrutiny as aspirants, backers intensify push

Despite reports that the immediate past Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, endorsed the aspiration of Barr. Esimaje Vincent Awani and equally pushed same to the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, other Warri South Local Government Chairmanship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party and their backers, have intensified lobby to alter the equation.

Recall that This Soaring International Tabloid, reported Thursday May 16, that tongues were waging among PDP leaders in Warri South Local Government Area in Delta State, as indications emerged Wednesday night that former President of Itsekiri National Youth Congress, INYC, Barr. Esimaje Awani, was now in pole position to become PDP chairmanship candidate for Warri South Local Government in the forthcoming July 13 Delta State local government election.

Speculations were rife weekend that a former member of Delta State House of Assembly, who represented Warri South Constituency II, Hon. Matthew Poko Opuoru, was the preferred choice of Governor Sherrif Oborevwori for the position of Warri South Chairmanship seat.

Investigation by Fresh Angle International, this morning, Friday May 17, revealed that while former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, is backing the aspiration of Comrade Monoyo Edon, Warri South PDP leader, Chief (Dr.) Joseph Otumara, is reportedly disposed to the ambition of Dr. Andrew Megbele, just as Comrade Emiko Oghomienor, strongly believes that he would emerge PDP flagbearer, urging his supporters via a social media post, to remain calm.

As at the time of this report, a serving Commissioner in the state from Warri South Local Government Area, alongside an Oil and Gas Pipeline Security Contractor (name withheld) were said to be rooting seriously for the aspiration of Mr. Emma Nunu, even as the immediate past Secretary to Warri South Local Government, Mr. Joseph Oribioye, Hon. Griftson Omatsuli, Amb Toyin Orighomisan Agbolayah, Mr. Reinelt Yemiete, Hon. Jude Igherebou, Hon. Mavis Onojohwo and Hon. Kingsley Edafiadjebre, were going about their lobbying to get the nod of PDP leadership.

It remains to be seen if Governor Oborevwori, would stick to Dr. Okowa’s purported choice of Barr. Esimaje Awani, revert to his preferred option of Hon. Matthew Poko Opuoru, okay Dr. Emmnauel Uduaghan’s Comrade Monoyo Edon, pick Chief Otumara’s Dr. Andrew Megbele, bow to the lobby for Comrade Emiko Oghomienor by top PDP leaders or select from any of the other aspirants, eyeing the Warri South political choice office.
