On Thursday, Deputy President of the Senate, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, declared to run for the Delta State governorship race under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Before declaring to join the governorship race, Omo-Agege apologized to the over ten thousand supporters who had arrived at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, football field as early as 7 am, but the program started at about 4 pm.
He said despite the supporters’ coming so early, they remained patient, which he said was an indication that APC was ready to chase away the PDP from the state.
The well-attended declaration was held at the open ground of the campus of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE), in the Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State after a visit to some royal fathers.
Omo-Agege, who reeled out his parliamentary and constituency achievements, said the same courageous feats, which will serve as a model, could be replicated to save the state from the ruin of the ruling party and build a new Delta.
He, therefore, promised to usher in a New Delta on “four pillars of employment and empowerment, development, good governance, and enduring security (EDGE) to run on functional and adequate public infrastructure. This is a new covenant with Deltans. “
Among the various supporters that stormed the declaration were the Re-Elect Buhari Movement (RBM) and the Centre for Civil Society and Justice (CCSJ), a group that worked for the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
The delegations of RBM and CCSJ were led by the Delta State Coordinator, Comrade Ekure ThomasÂ
The Re-Elect Buhari Movement and the Centre for Civil Society and Justice is a movement founded six years ago as a volunteer support group with a strong interest in working for the President’s re-election to enable the administration to consolidate on its achievements in its second term.
It will be recalled that a special invitation to the official declaration of His Excellency, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, was extended to the Re-Elect Buhari Movement (RBM) and the Centre for Civil Society and Justice (CCSJ) by Hon. Chuks Erhire.
The Re-Elect Buhari Movement and the Centre for Civil Society and Justice mobilised hundreds of their followers and supporters and stormed the venue in their numbers to honour Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
The delegates wore customized self-sponsored T-Shirts of Ovie Omo Agege to show their ultimate Solidarity and support at all times.
