The party congress is scheduled to hold on December 7 and 8, 2014.
This was contained in a statement issued by Orubebe Governorship Campaign Orgainsation in Abuja, on Sunday.
It partly read, “Amongst more than fifteen aspirants from the three senatorial districts of Delta State, Elder Orubebe is the only governorship hopeful for the party’s ticket from the Delta South Senatorial District.”
The district incidentally is the home base of incumbent governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.
It will be recalled that the former Minister was one of several ministers who resigned their appointments from the Jonathan administration in February this year, in a bid to pursue their governorship ambitions.
Orubebe, formally declared his ambition in Asaba, the Delta State capital on November 6, 2014.
