Delta 2023: Campaign Org. insists Otuaro still in race for PDP ticket

The campaign organization of Deputy Governor Kingsley Otuaro on Monday dismissed reports that the deputy governor has pulled out of the governorship race.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the KBO Campaign Organization, Pastor Alex Akemotubo, at a press briefing on Monday maintained that Deputy Governor Otuaro has not withdrawn but is still very much in the governorship race to succeed Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in 2023.

He said that any report to the contrary is an imagination of mischief makers, adding that the deputy governor is the delegates choice.

Akemotubo declared: “Otuaro is still very much in the race and whatever is trending in the media is only the figment of the imaginations of mischief-makers that will never happen as Otuaro is going to become the next governor of the state by the grace of God.

“Kindly treat any news or statements that say otherwise as fake news and as cheap political blackmail, an approach used by mischief-makers and hopeless political jobbers to undermine the incredible work done by delegates and Deltans at all levels to enthrone a better Delta State come 2023.

“H.E. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro remains the Delegates’ Choice in the Delta 2023 Governorship race.

“H.E. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro also uses this medium to thank all delegates and KBO volunteers for their relentless efforts, prayers, and support that have brought this noble agenda so far. Undoubtedly Delta will win.”
