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 Federal roads that were constantly maintained by FERMA during the PDP-led Federal Government between 1999 to 2015 have stopped.

He said that it was numb for the DSP to have made allusions of a third term agenda by Governor Okowa, and described it as mischievous propagation by the APC governorship candidate. 
“We have watched Omo-Agege boasting about terminating Okowa’s Vice-Presidential ambition and also accusing him of having a third term agenda

On the backwardness of the state in terms of development, Omo-Agege decried the poor leadership system of the Delta State Governor whom he described as incompetent, noting that while other States in the Niger Delta and elsewhere are celebrating shiny milestones in infrastructural development, human capacity development, healthcare, education, sustainable economic development, good governance, and improved institutions, the people of Delta State are shell-shocked; benumbed by the sheer audacity of Okowa and his co-travellers as they daily bring the state to its knees. 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.

On the Muslim/Muslim tickets, Rt. Hon. Oborevwori said that; “Delta State is not in support of the Muslim/Muslim tickets of the APC and our people should vote for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for President and Vice-President respectively. They will rescue our Country from APC that has collapsed our Country. Politics is not a do-or-die affair. God gives power. We are the winning team and you do not change a winning team. Please, vote for us, vote for PDP all-the-way

According to him; “I am a Pan Deltan, a unifier, and a man with excessive local content. I am determined to take the ongoing ward-to-Ward campaigns to the 270 Wards in the State. I want to connect with all Deltans in the 270 Wards and at the end of it, the campaigns will be taken to the Local Government Headquarters. Am coming to serve Deltans and so there must be a connection between me and the people”.
