Shock in PDP, APC as PFN, Christian Bodies Accept Gbagi as Next Governor in Delta 

I am Ready to Make Delta Productive, Pull Deltans out of Poverty..... Gbagi


the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressive Congress, APC would be in shock, following the wide acceptance of the Delta State Governorship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi OON, as the next Governor of Delta State, if elected in 2023.

The former minister of State for education, also assured Deltans that he has the capacity to fix the state from total collapse if elected governor.

The industrialist on Tuesday November 13th 2022, made this known when he visited Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (CPFN) and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) at ALPHA and OMEGA (PFN SECRETARIAT), Orhokpokpor, along Agbarho/ughelli, the administrative headquarter of Ughelli north local government area of the state.

He warned that the state would be in anarchy if CPFN and PFN allows someone who is not schooled and lacks entrepreneurial mind to rule over the State and if the current challenges are not addressed by 2023.

He stated that Delta needed a problem solver that could fix the state, stressing that Deltans are looking forward to having somebody that could make the state productive and pull Deltans out of poverty.

The former Chairman, Legal Aid Council of Nigeria said: “Delta State where we are today belongs to all of us. Make no mistake, if the younger ones and others who ought to know refuses to know, the consequences are obvious.

“Delta state was better in all ramifications. Call it education, industry, employment. In everything, we were ahead. Anybody in Delta who gets anything, got it out of merit.

“Before now, we don’t have godfathers unlike the other states but because of our superior brain power, we rose to become first among equals in Nigeria.

good percentage of our wealth is invested in Delta State. I have just put in a factory of about N22. 4 billion on Warri/Sapele road that we are going to commission any moment from now, I will invite you people to come.

“I am happy that all of you here today one way or the other, you go to my property to trade in Robinson Gbagi Plaza. There is nobody who is contesting governorship in Delta State that has two per cent of the industries or businesses that I have done in Delta State, check your records.

“So, if a man says he wants to govern you and all that he has is a peep into your money, the money of Delta State, is for all of us, it is our money.

“I just believe that I know what to do, I just believe that I can fix Delta State. If 34 years ago, I built Robinson Gbagi Plaza on Deco Road, at that time I knew we had a problem, I will do it again.

“I take Ughelli north alone in my first year, Ughelli north will give me N60 billion in revenue as generated income to Delta State, were I to reestablish Score Lager Beer, Limca, Sparkling and many other industries that are dead today.

“Ughelli north is ripe to create a lot more industries. I will put a Floor Mill in Ughelli North. If my Floor Mill produces 4-5 million of Indomie packets and Spaghetti, I will sell to the whole country and African countries through my Warri ports and I will double in two years my income in Ughelli north. Local governments must be meant to look like State”, he added.


On the entourage of the SDP gubernatorial candidate, Olorogun Gbagi, FNIM, were the National Vice Chairman of SDP, Barr. Elder Fred Owotorofa, the Deputy governorship candidate of the party z Chief Mrs Oshilim Ishioma Rosemary, the State chairman of the party, Ambassador Oke Idawene JP, the Vice Chairman of SDP in Delta Central, Comrade Mike Dugbo, the Director General, Gbagi Campaign Council, Prof. Jeff Mokobia, the Deputy Director General,
