Secret Reporters

The political battle for the sole ticket of the governorship seat of Delta State from the camp of the main opposition party in the state, The All Progressives Congress, in the early hours of today took a new turn after the national leadership of the party through its National Working Committee, NWC, earlier decreed indirect primaries against the choice of direct primaries by some of the aspirants and stakeholders in the state.

Information reaching our news desk from an impeccable source within the party disclosed that after Sunday’s confusion over the primaries the 2019 Delta State governorship elections may now certainly be between the incumbent governor, Ifeanyi Okowa who yesterday emerged as Delta PDP flag bearer and Chief Great Ogboru of the opposition APC.
