Ogboru stated this while addressing the crowd at the Delta Central mega rally at Ughelli on Thursday.
He said in the past, Deltans had lived with the results of rigged elections.
“But we know that God’s time is the best. This is the time set by God,” he said and burst into a local song, “If Ogboru no win, yawa go dey, if Ogboru no win, yawa go dey,” meaning there will be trouble if Ogboru does not win.
Ogboru added that Delta state has been turned into a ‘jankara state’ where government can no longer provide basic amenities for the people.
He promised to raise the standard of governance in the state such that the timid people without vision would no longer find the chance to govern the state again.
On his vision for Delta State, Ogboru said, “We shall start by restoring your dignity and you will no longer be the thrashing floor.
“You will be able to look at them eyeball to eyeball. All
Deltans will become winners and will enjoy good schools, good hospitals, better pay. Our roads will be safe again. Our streets and homes will be safe again; criminality of any shape will not be tolerated.”
Ogboru further stated that kidnapping and armed robbery held sway in the state because those in government kidnapped and robbed the people of their votes.
“That is why kidnappers are everywhere, kidnapping people because the governor kidnapped their votes,” he said.
He said while the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidacy was up for sale, the All Progressives Congress was a counterfeit.
“If the APC candidate does not step down, he will know the loneliness of a long distance runner.”
