As unscrupulous elements continue to throw stones on the prominent gubernatorial hopeful in Delta State, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, his loyalists, teeming supporters and the generality of Deltans have been charged to disregard media propaganda insinuating that he is no longer in the race.
The call became imperative following picture of prayers offered by Gbagi but misunderstood, misrepresented and misinterpreted by ill-fated individuals to mean Gbagi stepping down for the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Sheriff Oborevwori, with multiple discrepancies uncovered in his credentials.
The call was made on Wednesday May 18th 2022, by the Personal Assistant (PA), to the former minister of education, Temilope Temiloluwa, a Political Scientist.
She frown as a situation where gullible persons are used to spread and propagate fake news, wondering why a father would jettison his political aspiration to develop the State for a toddler like Oborevwori, who do not know the craft of politics.
Hear her: “I Temitope Temiloluwa a political scientist and one of the several other PA’s to Olorogun Barr Kenneth O. GBAGI FNIM. The Former Minister for Education and by the grace of God the next Governor of Delta State.
“My attention has been drawn to some fake social media hypes about one of the most distinguished Nigerian and young man Hon Sheriff Oborievwori and a purported photograph of prayer for Sheriff.
“I personally witnessed the interaction of some Governorship aspirants with several great traditional rulers from Urhobo land, where Sheriff had pleaded that the Hon. Minister seats on same Sofa with him, asking Odebalor to stand up from that seat.
“The Onus to pray as the most senior aspirant at that meeting fell on Olorogun Gbagi to do so. Before the prayer, Olorogun Gbagi announced to all the traditional rulers and I quote; “Sheriff and I had spoken and if Gbagi is going, I will support him.
“If I am going, he will support me” and Olorogun Gbagi now put Sheriff to test to confirm to all the traditional rulers that, that was the understanding which he confirmed to all the traditional rulers seated there.
“Olorogun then prayed, asking all the Governorship aspirants to step down for him as the most senior politician contesting the Governorship race asking that all his junior ones seated there, knowing they do not have the capacity that he possesses to take the Governoship fight to a resounding victory at the polls.
“The above took place in the presence of over 15 Urhobo traditional rulers” just as she expressed rude shock as to the level persons have cascaded to even infer that a father will step down for a son while all that took place was the other way round.
“The numerous followers of the Hon. Minister that have been calling, about this irresponsible media hype to disregard same in its totality and prepare for a victory come May 25th 2022, by the grace of God”, she added.
