Timinimi added that the inauguration ceremony will be followed with the launch of the manifesto of the APC governorship candidate in Delta state, Olorogun Great Ovedje Ogboru.

Timinimi said the inauguration of the committees and the launch of the manifesto will signpost the formal commencement of APC campaign which he affirmed will penetrate every nook and cranny of Delta state.

Speaking further, he said the day’s event will end with interaction with the media to further chat with them under a sprightly environment to properly highlight our vision for a New Delta and One Delta for All , he concluded.

An earlier statement by Mr. Zik Zulu Okafor, Media Director, Great Ogboru Campaign Organisation, said the event is not a rally.

Okafor who quoted Ogboru said: “it is for the inauguration of the different committees for the governorship campaign at all levels from the state, LGAs to the wards and units. It is, therefore, not envisioned to be a crowdy occasion. It is purely a strategic event, tactical in concept and execution to achieve a decisive victory at the governorship polls”.

Ogboru who has been in the race to Government House Asaba since 2003 is squaring up to challenge incumbent Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for the second time.
