The excos gave the assurance when Chief Ede Dafinone, paid the APC Delta Central Exco a consultative visit at Sapele in Sapele Local Government Area the state, also said they have agreed that the chartered accountant should represent the party at the Senatorial district.

According to the APC Delta Central Chairman, Chief Paulinus Akpeki, “We, at the Central have decided that we must deliver our Governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and all our candidates in Delta State. We are happy to see you and you have recognized us. During your presentation, you didn’t say you want to step in your father’s shoes but said you want to improve on the achievements of the deputy Senate President, we will support you for that” Chief Paulinus Akpeki, the Chairman who spoke on behalf of other leaders said.

“You said you want to partner with us, you must have a listening ear but when you get there, don’t forget the people who stood by you. We have agreed for you to go, don’t fail them, don’t disappoint the people of Delta Central because the Urhobo people are crying for help” the seasoned politician advised, with others applauding his speech.

Earlier, Ede told the Excos that he was in the race to improve on the outstanding job the Deputy Senate President, Barr Ovie Omo-Agege has done at the Senate, adding that he needs their support and advice for a successful mission.

“I am asking for your support to win the Senate position and to also deliver the position of the Governor of Delta State to Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. What the senator has done in seven years is outstanding. Very few senators can boost what he has done, whether past senator president or Deputy Senate President.

“A governor can do a thousand times what the senator can do for us. I asked for your support in actualizing my own vision” he said, adding that as a Senator, he can only develop some part of the State while Omo Agege as a governor can develop the whole Delta
