WARRI-FOR describing votes from the riverine areas of Delta State as \u201ctoxic votes\u201d and \u201criverine magic\u201d in the just concluded April 26, gubernatorial and House of Assembly polls, Ijaw youth leader, Mr. Greg Afoegba and Itsekiri youth leader, Mr. Omolubi Newuwumi, have asked the gubernatorial candidate of the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, in the state, to apologise publicly, describing the statement as reckless.<\/p>\n

Mr. Afoegba, a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain in Burutu Seimbiri Ward 4 in a statement, yesterday, said\u00a0 \u201cChief Great Ogboru does not have the wisdom to govern an ethnocentric state such as Delta.<\/p>\n

Politics is all about negotiation, persuation and consultation which Dr. Uduaghan did even at Ogborus\u2019 stronghold, while Ogboru did nothing but depended only on his Urhobo votes and imagined power and influence of some Ijaw persons to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot describe the riverine votes as toxic and still want the people to vote for you. Ogboru lacks the wisdom which Uduaghan has in abundant, which\u00a0 earned him the victory. We, therefore, request an apology from him for insulting our sensibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Newuwumi on his part, noted Chief Ogboru resorted to foul language against the Itsekiri in continuation of his agenda to deal with the Itsekiri people. He\u00a0 said that it was on record that Ogboru did not venture into any of the Itsekiri areas to canvass for votes during the campaigns leading to the election but visited only his Urhobo people and just one Ijaw village.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
