; Ibori’s daughter and PDP House of Assembly candidate, Irhiatake Ibori-Suenu, and others in Ibori’s camp, yesterday, shunned the inauguration of the PDP 2,390-member campaign council in Asaba.
The Guardian learnt that Ibori had settled for DG for his preferred candidate, David Edevbie, who lost out at the Supreme Court, but Okowa refused to cave in, saying DG is the most powerful position that must be occupied by his loyalist. Speaking at the inauguration, yesterday, Okowa urged the team to concentrate on units and wards, saying: “Our campaign will go through 270 wards; that’s where our votes will come from. My politics is based on issues and I don’t insult people in the course of my politicking.”“Those that said I have not done anything in Delta State are locked up in Abuja, they may be from Delta but locked themselves up in Abuja, they are blind to the reality on ground.
