“The President and governor are carry-go. I have biological ties with Warri South, so no one should tell me that I can’t speak on Warri South Local Government politics. I told Governor Oborevwori that it’s “Man of God” (Mofe Edema) that is popular on ground in Warri South Constituency 1. Even if I am suspended, it won’t stop me from voting the President, Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and Itsekiris in other political parties, so long as I consider them popular.

“I told the governor that I won’t support Emomotimi Guwor, because he is against Itsekiri. I told the governor that I stand for Andrew Igban. The governor said we should leave Warri North Constituency for Orode Uduaghan, we will respect that. Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan is our brother/ leader and other aspirants in Warri North Constituency, are Itsekiris.

“We want primary in the other legislative seats. No need for Ijaws of Gbaramatu to participate in the APC and other political party primaries, since they claimed there are no existing wards/ units in Warri Federal Constituency. We stand with Thomas Ereyitomi’s return bid.”
