A governorship hopeful in Delta State on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Gabriel Chukwuma Oyibode, has consulted the Delta State elders, leaders and stakeholders forum to solicit their support in the forthcoming governorship primaries ahead of the 2015 general election.
Consulting the elders at residence of the state forum leader, Chief Godwin Ogbetuo on his agenda for Deltans when elected, Oyibode vowed to carry the elders along in the scheme of things.
He said; “my decision to contest the 2015 gubernatorial seat of the state was divinely directed from God who had first revealed to me in a vision in 1984 before repeating it recently. Some people go into elective politics because they want to acquire massive wealth, power with the aim of siphoning the state treasury after being elected. But God called me to come and serve my people of Delta State and liberate them from the shackles of poverty.
“I am here to tell you my elders and mentors that vying for the position of governor of Delta State and that I am coming because I want to be a servant to my people since God has chosen me and has been using me to bless people. I have given over 200 scholarships to students, over 250 vehicles and many other empowerment over the years; little did I know that God was preparing me adequately for the gubernatorial seat of the state,” Oyibode said.
