Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Sunday, debunked the rumour doinv the rounds that he was disqualified on account of discrepancies in his academic credentials.
He magisterially devkared that he was screened and cleared by the committee with Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri, as chairman.
Oborevwori was among the 12 aspirants cleared by the committee to contest the governorship primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) later this month.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service, Oborevwori said the news that he was not cleared was fake and cheap blackmail.
He said that by May 29, 2023, he would be sworn-in as governor of Delta State.
However, the Speaker was silent on the alleged name discrepancies in his academic certificates, during the testimony at the thanksgiving.
“On Thursday was the screening in Port Harcourt. And there was a lot of petitions, blackmail and fake news that I would not be screened.
“And I went there; the governor of Bayelsa was the chairman. I did not spend up to 15 minutes for the screening before I was asked to go.
“And I got my clearance certificate before any other person. But when I got here, they said I was not cleared to the extent that there are fake clearance certificates flying in the internet.”
