SHERIFF REPRESENTS THE ASPIRATION OF OKOWA, NOT THAT OF OKPE AND URHOBO PEOPLE.

The controversy laden governorship candidate of the PDP in Delta State, Rt Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori does not in any way represent the aspiration and projection of the Okpe people. The Okpe people are not slaves and will not sell their birthright for a pot of porridge.

Sheriff, a known thug and motor park tout, who has been involved in several dubious cases and acts of destruction, has no business championing the future direction of the proud and culturally rich Okpe kingdom of the Urhobo people.

Okpe is one kingdom in Urhobo land that has celebrated and renowned scholars, seasoned administrators, captain of industries, wealthy and successful business moguls preceeding the colonial era.

In a saner clime, folks like Oborevwori, an established tout, should ordinarily be relegated to managing mentally unstable persons with records of violence. A man with contradictory personal identity (a bipolar syndrome?), parading a borrowed or forged Ordinary level certificate(SSCE), who can not constructively make a sentence, and painfully as it is, an errand boy to a wicked-clannish Judas Iscariot, who is now drowning in his ocean of malicious intent to control the state through Sheriff, his proxy!

A proxy to the Owa-Alero hegemony cannot be said to represent the respected Okpe kingdom, and by extension, the Urhobo people.
The voice of Jacob, the hand of Esau governorship does not represent the clamour of our people.

As a representative of Okpe in the Delta State House of Assembly, and the Speaker of the House for over six years going, aside the forceful takeover of community lands in Osubi, insistent harassment and brutilization residents, Francis Oborevwori has no other signature achievement to show.

The Okpe people are wise and educated enough to read this bold handwriting and well packaged deceit!
