Former acting governor of Delta State, Prince Sam Obi who is presently representing Ika North-East Constituency at the Delta State House of Assembly has declared his intention to contest for the Governorship position in the state in the 2015 elections.
Prince Obi, a Pastor has said he has been spiritually ordained to take over from Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan in 2015 and has set machinery in motion to actualize his governorship ambition.
In a meeting of his followers held at the Nelrose Hotels, Asaba on Friday, Prince Obi stated that it was an achievable course and urged his followers not to waver as he has the material and human support to achieve the goals.
According to Prince Obi, he desires the commitments of his followers reiterating that he was confident of winning in the elections.
Those who spoke at the occasion commended Prince Obi for his desire to govern the state in 2015 and pledged to work with him.
They observed that Prince Obi displayed his capability of governing the state when as a Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, he acted as Governor when the court called for re-run election in the Governorship election of the state.
The meeting was attended by five trusted delegates from each of the nine local government areas of Delta North Senatorial District.
Prince Obi is the first aspirant for the position to openly call for such meeting and made his intentions open.
