The governorship candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress in Delta State, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, has rejected the endorsement of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori by the Urhobo Nation's traditional rulers. Iyovwaye maintains that the endorsement, while respectful, does not supersede the democratic right of Deltans to choose their governor through the ballot box.
He emphasized that the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria grants the electorate this authority, and the governorship should be determined based on the performance and programs of candidates rather than ethnic consensus or endorsements.
