Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has voiced hope that former Governor James Ibori may eventually join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor made this remark on Tuesday at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Otu-Jeremi, Ughelli South LGA, during a vigil mass held in memory of the late former Deputy Governor, Professor Amos Utuama.
Governor Oborevwori used the occasion to emphasise the importance of solidarity among Urhobo political leaders.
Paying heartfelt homage to the late Prof. Utuama, he reflected on the depth of his contributions, stating: “I’m glad to be present at this gathering, organised for one man whose life touched many. Today’s message speaks more to those of us still alive than to the departed.”
He recalled a notable act of generosity by Utuama: “While serving as Deputy Governor, he was given a plot of land in Asaba. Rather than keep it, he gave it to the Catholic Church and even helped fund the construction. To me, that’s a lasting investment in heaven.”
