 The governor of Delta State, Defi Okor, has debunked claims that he has endorsed a candidate for 2023 general election in the state. Speaking to newsmen, the state's commissioner for information, Charles Aniagu, said the people should discount and answer rumours in town, saying that anyone who is interested in any political office should get in the race and contest. And to inform him that you are going to run, naturally he will not ask you to stop because number one, it's as soon as you have assessed it that you have the capacity to run and so if you believe that because he didn't ask you to stop, that means that there is not also something wrong with it. But what is important is that we go and believe that all our members who are interested in positions whether that of the governorship, as of assembly, the Senate, as of reps, is for different positions, that they are able to play very, very safely and with respect to one another after all, we are all brothers and sisters and so the governor will hope that everybody who is contesting will use the most sane words, we have respect for one another. We have added so much value to the development of our state, we will be right to say that his children should hold hands and not also add value to the development of the state.
