The Zenith Labour Party has unveiled its gubernatorial candidate, Comr. Emeka Nkwoala (JP) for Delta State in 2027. The primary took place in Asaba, Wednesday 27th May, 2027 in a peaceful party primary election.
In his acceptance speech, he said, with his wealth of experience as the former chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in the state and his stewardship in the ZLP, to challenge and win the incumbent Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, would not be difficult.
At the party’s governorship congress in Asaba, Nkwoala told his teeming supporters that although Governor Oborevwori did well in infrastructural development, especially by attracting Julius Berger to construct roads, bridges and flyovers, ZLP has adopted strategic agenda to surpass his record.
He said, “No doubt, His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has performed well in infrastructural delivery. But considering the resources accruing to the state, I shall do far better because unlike him, I have no godfather but I have God as a Father.”
He said the cardinal objective of his administration, would be achieved in collaboration with his National Assembly and House of Representatives candidates.
He said the party’s House of Assembly candidate, Sir Aghogho Green Meretin, who was the former Majority Leader of Ethiope West Local Government Council and grassroots mobilizer, would assist with effective legislature to entrench free-education system to enhance the future generation of the state, advance accessibility to free healthcare delivery and unleash a new era of road infrastructure on the state.
