The Convener of No Jobman for Governor 2023, Comrade Steven Luke, has criticised Chief Oghenekome Okpobor, Executive Director of Finance of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), over his call on the people of Iyede to sheathe their swords and support the All Progressives Congress (APC). Comrade Steven Luke described the appeal as unfair, arguing that the people of Iyede should not be expected to support a political party that, in his view, has plunged Nigerians into economic hardship simply because it has benefited Chief Okpobor personally.
