The desire of Chief Great Ogboru to govern Delta State is born out of sincere love and conviction that with a well thought plan of action, the rich potentials of Delta State can be harnessed to promote rapid industrial growth, improved economy and greater prosperity for the good people of the State.
It is this self-conviction that has made it difficult for him to abandon that desire, even when it is discomforting to continually deploy human and material resources in pursuit of this goal since 2003, a mandate which the ruling class in the State has continually fought to abort, with high-wired rigging of elections using federal apparatus at every elections.

The man Great Ogboru brings to the governance of Delta State, a well-thought-out  plan of action which would turn around the fortune of the State within the shortest possible time. Unlike the manifesto of the current occupant of the Delta State house which is vague, bogus and deceptive, the manifesto of the People's General is very detailed and shows in simple terms how his government, would deliver the goodies to the masses.

Let us now beam our search-lights on the manifesto:

To achieve this, he hopes to implement what he calls: EODI: Equal Opportunities Development Initiative. EODI is a program  whereby an EQUAL amount would be distributed to every Local Government of the State on a monthly basis, for the execution of specified projects in the area of health care, agriculture, education, infrastructure etc.
