Deacon Kingsley Otuaro, the deputy governor of Delta State, has denied the report that he switched his support from the rival All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori.
In response to rumors on social media that he had camped out with PDP defectors supporting Omo-Agege, Otuaro told Vanguard over the weekend: “I am with Sheriff Oborevwori, who is the PDP gubernatorial candidate.”
“Three or four days ago, we had an enlarged Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, KBO, political organization meeting where I encouraged every one of them to return to his or her constituency to see what we can do to deliver Sheriff Oborevwori.
“I have been in touch with the governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, adding my opinion on some strategic things we are supposed to do, and some of those things we are already doing.
“Politics is such that people are wont to say whatever they want to say, God has given everybody a mouth and the mouth will surely be used. Therefore, we keep doing our best, hoping that God does what he wishes to do,” he said.
