According to him, Oborevwori would continue with ongoing programmes and policy of the Okowa administration while also introducing his own programmes.
“The governor and governor-elect and indeed the PDP are all grateful to Deltans for this show of love and for the appreciation of the sterling performance of the administration of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, the street credibility of Sheriff Oborevwori and the fact that PDP is in the DNA of Deltans.
“What has happened in this election is that Deltans have been able to repel surgically the incursion into our political DNA. As an administration and the incoming administration will not take this for granted.
“We are happy that we won fair and square in all the Senatorial Districts and that we got overwhelming support of Deltans and those who live here with us in the Northern, Southern and Central Senatorial Districts.
“This victory will spur the PDP to not only sustain the development trajectory that has characterised the Okowa led administration but to embark on a process that will indeed bring more development just like the Agenda of Sheriff Oborevwori”, he said.
On the visit of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Great Ogboru to Government House, Aniagwu described it as laudable and a worthy trait from a committee democrat.
