The candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 Delta State governorship poll Kennedy Pela yesterday downplayed Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his immediate past predecessor Ifeanyi Okowa’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the centre.
In a letter written to Deltans, Pela claimed that Oborevwori and Okowa defected to the APC to service personal interest.
He said: “While I have maintained a deliberately low public profile during this period to focus on building the foundations of lasting change, my commitment to the cause of a better Delta and a better Nigeria has remained unwavering.
