He said, “I’m joining PDP today because I like what our governor is doing. All I have ever wished for was for a leader that will develop Delta state and make life better for her people. So when I see someone, in the person of Governor Sheriff Oborewori, and what he has been doing in just one year in office, I was marvelled. I said to myself, if someone is doing what I want for my people, the best thing to do is to join and support the person, that is why I’m here today to join the PDP.”
