At All Progressive Congress (APC) The Governorship Campaign Council in Delta State has condemned the alleged assassination attempt on the life of the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Sheriff Oborevwori.
In a statement on Thursday by its spokesperson, Ima Niboro, the council called for an immediate investigation into the incident and the arrest of those behind it.
Mr. Oborevwori was on Sunday attacked by some gunmen on the Warri-Sapele highway while on his way from Sapele where he was attending a political meeting.
According to reports, the PDP candidate was attacked between Elume and Okuabude junctions in Okpe Local Government Area at about 9.05pm.
Although there were no casualties, one of the security officers associated with Mr. Oborevwori sustained injuries.
Mr. Niboro said the APC council received with shock the news of the attack, adding that it chose not to play politics with security.
However, he deplored “fingers pointing at the PDP on matters that should concern everyone,” adding “It is public communication at its worst, and has no place in civilized discourse.”

The Delta All Progressives Congress, APC, Campaign Council, has received with shock the reported attack on the Delta Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governorship Candidate, House Speaker Sheriff Oborevwori, who is suspected of being the killer.
We strongly condemn this attack and call for immediate investigation and arrest of the perpetrators by the relevant security agencies.
While we cannot say without the benefit of an investigation if this condemnable act is politically motivated or not, we hasten to say that we are all Deltans and we are all brothers.
Delta APC is on the cusp of a historic victory. Regardless, we choose not to play politics with insecurity. We truly love that Enduring Peace and Security is an important part of our EDGE agenda.

In this regard, we sincerely point the finger at the PDP on matters that should be of serious concern to all. Such communication is the most distasteful public communication, and has no place in civilized discourse.
