First, the thorny issue of where the next governor should come from appears to have become a foregone conclusion.
It is on record that he defeated Edevbie to the ticket by a small margin, despite the understanding then that the ticket should go to Delta North. It was said that it would be easier to manage and for equity to reign if rotation is premised on senatorial districts, rather than ethnic groups, which could ultimately deny minority groups the opportunity of producing a governor.
Like in the past, this does not preclude aspirants from other districts. Indeed, politicians from Delta North have indicated interest as well. Still within the PDP, Edevbie is back in the race he lost over six years ago with a rich bag of experience. Though yet to formally declare his ambition, he is known to have started working underground; hence it was not a surprise that he was disengaged by Okowa to enable him pursue his ambition.
