Delta's APC Chieftain Slams Oborevwori's Leadership Bid: A Liability, Not a given!
Regretfully Denying Governor Oborevwori's Leadership in APC, Delta - Eselemo's Stance
Prince Collins, a top dog in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, isn't holding back his concerns about Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's recent switch to their party. In a fiery interview with Arise News, Collins questioned Oborevwori's automatic right to lead the APC in Delta State, branding him a liability to the party.
Collins wasn't shy about voicing his criticism of the APC's national leadership, including Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, for welcoming Oborevwori unconditionally. In Collins' opinion, such a move would lead the APC into corruption and unfavorable territory.
"Sheriff is a liability. Not until he rights the wrongs does he earn a spot in our party," Collins declared, referring to past altercations between Oborevwori and APC members during his tenure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when he reportedly attacked opposition members, seized their lands, and demolished properties without compensation.
Collins urged Oborevwori to address these past wrongs before expecting to be embraced by the APC with open arms.
Though Collins welcomes Oborevwori to the APC, he insists that it should be under certain conditions. The financial implications of bringing over PDP figures like Oborevwori into the APC is a concern for Collins, particularly if it means paying off the reported 450 billion Naira debt left by the PDP at the expense of the people of Delta.
Collins called for President Bola Tinubu to acknowledge the injuries inflicted on APC members in Delta State under Oborevwori's watch and take appropriate action.
