A former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has raised the alarm over an alleged gang up to disgrace him in the general election in the state in 2023.
Ibori raised the alarm on Sunday in his country home in Mosogar, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State.
He spoke when he declared his support for the National Chairman of a pressure group, Delta Central 23, Chief Ighoyota Amori, who is seeking to go to the Senate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2023.
The former two-term Governor said: “I am behind and I will support Senator Ighoyota Amori every step on the way.
“And anybody, anyone conspiring, anybody that thinks that because I am now a former governor they want to conspire to disgrace me, God will disgrace all of them.
“This is not issue of money.
“All mothers should call their children to order.
“This is my Senatorial District.
“I am a stakeholder in this party (PDP) and I am a stakeholder in Urhobo.
“This is my place of birth.
“I am with Senator Amori all the way.
“I want to assure that if you give Senator Amori your support, he will not disappoint you.
“I want to guarantee you that Senator Amori will perform beyond expectation because we know his capacity, we know his reach, he has contact and knows how to use it and that seat befits Amori.
“So let support him.
“Please, join hands with me.
“Support him to go to the Senate.
“I know that some of you from your various houses will probably be thinking.
“Please have a rethink, I am begging of you.

“Please, support me to send Senator Ighoyota Amori to the Senate.
“I want to say it again that this senatorial race, this Senator Amori’s bid is my bid.
“Please join hands with me and join hands with Senator Amori to go to the Senate.”
