He noted that in advanced Democratic nations like United States of America, United Kingdom and many others, an alleged common criminal like Senator Agege ought to be gnashing his teeth behind bars over glaring roles in the act of mace snatching and stealing under the principles of criminal conspiracy and common intentioncommitted by him and those he allegedly hired
In his words; “Warri is going down, but PDP don’t know the way for development, they have no brains and don’t have the vision and know the road to prosperity. We know the way, go to Lagos and see development and progress
Speaking during the campaign visit to the five Wards, Rt. Hon. Oborevwori, who is also the National Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, said the poverty rate in the Country between 2019 to 2022 had risen to 23 percent which showed the failure of the APC Government at the Federal level in the Country.
He explained that “the promotion of poverty by the APC-led Federal Government is the cause of insecurity. The unemployment rate had risen, and almost all industries are dead.

Even sadder is fact that the governor has been going around borrowing with reckless abandon, making the State one of the most indebted in Nigeria even with its monumental FAAC allocation and 13% derivation revenue as an oil producing State.
He said N25 billion out of the N30 billion ‘Bridging Finance’ loan already accessed by the state government had been deployed into some ongoing projects while the remaining N5 billion was channelled into the payment of pensioners in the Bureau for State Pensions and the Local Government Pensions Bureau.
According to him, 2,500 Artisans have so far been empowered for year 2022, emphasising that the number was doubled for next year because of the determined effort of his administration to kick poverty and unemployment out of the state
“APC have credible candidate that will deliver for their people, we are going there to work for the people. We have five candidates that will be voted for. Delta State has been ruled by opposition for too many years but we are coming to say this is how it should be done in Delta State”. he said.
