PGs, Community leaders in Ughelli South adopt Omo-Agege as the preferred governorship candidate

By Wealth Akowei,

Ahead of the March 11, 2023 governorship election in Delta State, President Generals, Community Chairmen, Spokesperson, Women and Youth leaders across all the kingdoms and clans in Ughelli South Local Government have adopted the Deputy President of the Senate and Delta State APC Governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as their preferred governorship candidate.

The community leaders who passed a vote of confidence on Senator Ovie Omo-Agege over what they termed as his superlative performance as a senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, said that amongst those jostling to govern Delta State, Omo-Agege’s record of service to the Urhobo nation stands out.

The community leaders numbering over 1000 thereafter unanimously endorsed the APC governorship candidate and promised to reward him with their votes as an appreciation for the great job he did at the senate and also encourage him to repeat the same as the governor of the state.

Omo-Agege stated this during a Townhall meeting at Warri with representatives of Delta youths and students, disclosed that the hardship and suffering that have been visited on the state by the PDP government in the past 24 years should no longer be tolerated, hence PDP and all that it represents be vote out.

President Generals, Chairman, Spokesperson, Women and Youth leaders of the different communities in Ughelli South gave this endorsement over the weekend at Ogoni-Olomu during an interactive session with community leaders in Ughelli South LGA of Delta State.

Comrade Orakata Oviri, President General of Oviri-Olomu moved the motion for the adoption of DSP Omo-Agege as the sole and preferred governorship candidate and was unanimously endorsed by community leaders across the LGA, who also gave assurance of their support for Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and other APC candidates.

Meanwhile, Delta State APC Governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege tasked the community leaders to look at the records of performance of those vying for elections before casting their votes.

Deputy Senate President said that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and his Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has lost their moral right to be on the ballot of the presidential election scheduled to hold on February 25.

According to him, the legal and moral options on the ballot of the election are Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP.

While appealing to the community leaders to shun sentiment in their voting choice, he said that the majority of voters in the country do not belong to any political parties, hence he came to consult them and seek their support for his governorship aspirations and that of all APC candidates.

He tasked the community leaders to write down their challenges as a community, with their most pressing needs and forward the same through their President General to him, assuring them that as a governor he will bring development to communities that have been forgotten by the PDP-led government in the past 24 years.

He charged them to support him and all APC candidates 5/5, assuring them that when elected as the governor of the state he will ensure that their roads will receive government attention and that communities without health centres will be provided with one.

He decried a situation where the people of Ughelli South over the years have supported and voted for PDP with nothing to show even when the state under Governor Okowa has received #4.2trn in the past 7 and half years.

He called on the Deltans to vote for him and APC and allow him to take the state from its present state of squalor amid plenty, having tried PDP in the past and they have failed.
