Delta PDP carpets Zik Gbemre over regular attacks on Gov. Oborevwori …describes him as he who lacks rules of acceptable behaviour

As the background of Zik Gbemre’s incessant attacks on the person Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori over his administration of the state vis-a-vis projects executions in the state, Peoples Democratic Party,(PDP) Delta State has carpeted him by describing him, based on his use of foul language, a person who lacks the rules of acceptable behaviour.

In a statement signed by the Party’s State Secretary, Engr. Dan Ossai and made available to newsmen said to them in PDP, they liken Zik Gbemre’s diatribe to the rage of the heathen which the Holy Bible describes clearly in Psalm 2, asking derisively:” Why are people plotting a vain thing, setting themselves and political kingpins taking counsel together against the LORD and His Anointed? 

According to the statement, the party would not have reacted but the fact that he(Gbemre) made reference to the Party which fielded  Governor Oborevwori and worked assiduously during the campaign  which paved way for Deltans to give their overwhelming votes for PDP candidate who is the governor today. 

Part of the statement reads: “It would not have dignified the unnecessary attack with a response but for the fact that it made reference to the party, which fielded and worked hard during the campaigns leading to Deltans giving their overwhelming votes to the PDP candidate who today is the Governor.”

According to the statement, Delta PDP is reacting based on the untoward nature of the write up titled: “OKUAMA IDP’s (sic) CAMP: ANOTHER SHAME OF A VILLAGE CHAMPION GOVERNOR,” and in particular, the ill-mannered, ill-bred, discourteous and impolite language used on the person of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori by Zik Gbemre.

The statement said while the party will not waste time by dignifying him and his sponsors with a rejoinder knowing that it is obvious from his mindset that he failed to give proper consideration to the possible consequences of what he wrote on, it was important nevertheless to clear some areas he may not have understood in the scenario.

The statement said, Zik Gbemre is  not in the government and so, may not be able to appreciate the intricacies involved in Okuama’s  matter but the President of the Federal Pepublic of Nigeria, His Excellecy, Bola Tinubu got the whole matter when the governor of the state visited him to intimate him about Okuama’s situation. The Party commended Governor Oborevwori to have remained focused to have settled the issues which restored normalcy to the erstwhile troubled community. 

The statement reads in parts: ” We commend the administration of Governor Oborevwori for remaining focused with the committed underground moves being made to restore normalcy to the Okuama Community and not pandering to the distractions being weaved by devious elements who constitute themselves as sworn enemies of the Governor”

According to the statement, if Zik Gbemre needed to be told, on Monday 6th May, Governor Oborevwori had a discussion with Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja and as at today, 8th of May, 2024, the Military has withdrawn from Okuama.

The statement said, so far, the Party is doing well and other right thinking Deltans have refused to be swayed by vicious gossips and improper use of the social media to attack with a view to bringing down our beloved Governor.

Part of the statement reads: "We will thus restrain from stooping so low and be petty as to challenge Zik Gbemre and his sponsors to display their own academic qualifications side by side with those of members of the Oborevwori cabinet, for objective comparisons.

“But, we must in good conscience, point out that Gbemre and his cohorts, out of mischief, are feigning not to observe the great work that is going on by Julius Berger in Warri, courtesy of the N78 billion contract awarded by the Oborevwori’s Administration, to give the oil city and environs a face lift.

"They are also blind to the many projects that the Governor is doing, especially in the unwavering determination to complete on-going projects inherited by his administration, thus putting paid to the syndrome of uncompleted and abandoned projects.

“So far, the health institutions of the State are working, the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary institutions are all in top forms; 2,000 school teachers were employed across the State; civil servants are paid as at when due, with pensioners enjoying their pensions. In addition, the roads construction work going on across the State has turned Delta into a huge construction site.

“But Zik Gbemre, beclouded by mischief, has bluntly and deliberately refused to take cognisance of all these and many more. The Governor did not just emerge; he contested the primary election against his opponents and defeated them in a free, fair, credible and transparent election conducted openly, to become the PDP candidate. We are glad to have sponsored him to fly the PDP party flag in Delta State gubernatorial election. He went ahead to win the statewide governorship polls and went through 38 intense court cases, which culminated in his resounding victory at the Supreme Court”, the statement concluded
