2027 Senate: We’re Working for Ejele, My Choice for Delta South – Chief Ayirimi Reveals What He Told Gov Oborevwori
Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Chief Ayirimi Emami, has opened up on his recent meeting with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori saying his pointedly told the governor his choice for Delta South Senatorial District.
Chief Ayirimi said during the conversation, he bluntly told the governor his preferred choices for Delta South Senatorial Seat, Warri Federal Constituency seat, Warri South Constituency I seat and Warri South-West Constituency seat in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
Addressing newsmen at his residence in Egbokodo shortly after the Ologbotsere Day celebration, Chief Ayirimi disclosed that Governor Oborevwori told him that he would be neutral in the APC primaries, as far as the aforesaid legislative positions are concerned.
According to Chief Emami, he told Governor Oborevwori that Hon. Michael Diden popularly known as “Ejele” is his preferred choice for Delta South Senatorial District.
He also mentioned to the governor that Hon. Mofe Edema, is the popular choice on ground for Warri South Constituency I while Dr. Andrew Igban, for Warri South-West Constituency seat in Delta State House of Assembly.
Chief Ayirimi said; “I have told the governor that it’s Ejele (Hon. Michael Diden) senatorial ambition that I stand for, he said he’s neutral in the issue, that means we should go for primary. I warned in the last election that Joel-Onowakpo Thomas was against Itsekiri, now we know better, he has been fighting against Itsekiri.
“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.”
