The governorship candidate of the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) in the April 14, 2007 election in Delta State, Chief Great Ogboru, has described Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan as a "good man" who plays politics with love.

Ogboru spoke at the weekend through his younger brother, Turner, in an address presented at Uduaghan’s 55th birthday celebration.

He told worshippers at a thanksgiving service held at First Baptist Church, Warri, for Uduaghan that he was identifying with the governor because he had no personal grudge against him.

Ogboru said his case with Uduaghan at the tribunal was to ensure due process in elections.

His words: "We have not been in the tribunal because of His Excellency or his deputy. For two of them, we will not near the court because of our personal relationship with them; we have been in court as a matter of fact on principles (because) we should not have a state where people should be elected without proper voting, because of the generations to come, because of our children and their own children.

"Today, the process threw up a good man and the same process can throw up a murderer that will make all of us to be in trouble. We have all been going freely as we are doing our electoral petition, running up and down from court to court," Ogboru said.
