By Atevure Princess,

The Senator representing Delta Central in the Senate, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege has said that 2019 general elections is not about the political party but about the candidates and what they represents.    Omo-Agege stated this during the continuation of his joint campaign with Rev Francis Waive, APC House of Representative hopeful visited Okwagbe, Oviri Olomu, Agbon Olomu, Ohwahwa,  Ovwudokpokpo Olomu, communities in Ughelli south, Delta State.

Speaking at Olomu ward 11,  Omo-Agege stated that the election is not about the PDP or APC, but about those who love the Urhobo nation.


  He urged the Urhobo people to take advantage of the several projects which President Buhari’s administration has executed in the district and key into the opportunity of Urhobo to produce a ranking senator by voting for all candidates of the All Progressives Congress in the general elections.


  The Senator, who used the platform to give account of his stewardship to the people, spoke on his empowerment programs as well as bills he sponsored. 
  He reeled out some of the strategic projects which the President Buhari has completed and ongoing in Urhobo land, stressing that the completion of the railway project will open Delta state up for business. 


  “The railway project was abandoned by the past administration. But as a Senator, I can tell you that I persuade President Buhari to complete the project and all the overhead bridges.


  The Senator also stressed that it was Buhari’s administration who worked hard to ensure that the pension of DSC workers was paid as well as put in motion the resuscitation of the steel plant.


  He recalled that the Sapele-Agbor Federal highway was also abandoned for a long time by PDP led administration, but with the coming of President Buhari, the construction of the road has started and work is progressing very fast.


  Senator Omo-Agege urged the Urhobos to vote massively for President Buhari if they want more projects and also complete the ongoing federal project in the state.  According to him, “if you want me to go back to the Senate as a ranking Senator, then you must cast your vote for President Buhari, he said.”


  He also urged the people to vote massively for Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru for the governorship of the state.    Omo-Agege also called on the people of Udu, Ughelli North and South Federal constituency to vote for the APC House of Rep candidate, Rev. Francis Ejiroghene Waive for the House of Representative, adding that with him in the Senate and Rev. Waive in House of Reps, that such combined force  will produce the best result for the Constituency, just as the Senator called on the people of Ughelli south to vote for Prince Uhrorho Koyoyo for the House of Assembly to work with Governor Ogboru for the good of the Urhobo nation.  

Speaking also the Rev Francis Waive noted that “Urhobo have gone beyond looking for a Senator but for a ranking senator”, adding that the time for Urhobo to grab the opportunity of leadership in the Senate has come.
