With just 35 days to the general elections, Deputy President of the Senate and Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has urged Deltans to vote out the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) candidates in all offices in the forthcoming elections.
Senator Omo-Agege who gave the charge at the ongoing ward-to-ward campaigns in Jesse, Ethiope West, Eku and Abraka in Ethiope East LGAs, urged Deltans to be resolute in their determination to end the suffering imposed by the Governor Okowa-led PDP government in nearly eight years.
While admonishing the people against monetary inducement, Omo-Agege advised the electorate to take any money offered in whatever guise, but proceed to vote PDP out.
Senator Omo-Agege said Governor Okowa punished Deltans for nearly eight years of his administration by converting heir common patrimony to realize his personal political ambition of becoming a vice president while retirees were yet to be paid their gratuities.
Governorship candidate noted in dismay the arbitrary increase in school fees in state owned tertiary institutions, and Okowa’s failure to implement the minimum wage for workers.
He, therefore, called on Deltans to reward Governor Okowa and PDP by voting all candidates of the APC in the elections in order to put an end to PDP misrule in Delta state.
Against this back drop, he called on political leaders who have condoned Governor Okowa’s misrule to publicly apologize to Deltans.
He also noted that the Eku Baptist hospital which was once the pride of Deltans, had under the PDP-led government of Dr Okowa, become a shadow of itself. He promised to revive the hospital when elected governor.
“The time to make a change has come; participate in the ballot revolution. All Deltans are angry. The only solution is to come out and wipe away everything that represents PDP. Wipe away Okowa and Atiku at the polls. Come out and vote Omo-Agege as governor. All the challenges that Okowa refused to address, we will address. Just make sure you vote in all APC candidates.”
At Abraka, the hometown of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru, the President General of Oruarivie Clan, Chief Efe Don Kigho, said the leadership of the Community irrespective of their political affiliation, met three months earlier and resolved to endorse Senator Omo-Agege as sole Governorship candidate.
At Jesse, Eku and Abraka, the rallies became a carnival of sorts, as party supporters rolled out drums to receive and celebrate the Delta APC campaign train.
