The group which comprises of the Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas have declared their unreserved support for the Senator representing Delta Central in the Senate.
The non-indigenes group made this declaration in a resolution arising from their executive meeting held in Effurun, Sund, commended Senator Omo-Agege for his outstanding contributions to the business of lawmaking at the upper chamber of the Senate.
It also expressed appreciation for being the only Senator in Delta State who has demonstrated love for non-indigenes by carrying them along in his relationship
with his constituents, adding that he is the best senator the state has ever produced.
The group’s resolution which
was signed by the State Secretary, Alhaji Maikudi Kwazo, also pledged to throw its weight behind Senator Omo-Agege now and in his future aspirations.
The resolution partly reads: “The Deputy Senate President, Senator Omo-Agege should be commended for his outstanding contributions on the floor of the Senate.
“That Omo-Agege is the only Senator in Delta State that has carried all Deltans, ethnic groups and non-indigenes along.
“All non-indigenes in the state have resolved to rally round the DSP Omo-Agege and support him now and in his future aspirations in the state.
