He congratulated those who emerged as the flagbearers of the party just as he, expressed confidence that they possess the capacity to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and any other party in the State in the 2023 general election.
The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District also used the occasion to congratulate other APC candidates in other federal constituencies and state assembly seats across the country.
The concluded APC Primaries, Omo-Agege noted, was a total victory for the party, adding that apart from the fact that it symbolizes the sign of further victories, it aptly demonstrated the party’s capacity to galvanize its membership to achieve victory for the party.
“The outcome of the primaries will best be described as no victor no vanquished, as all the aspirants gave a good account of themselves and congratulated each other for a good contest,” he said.
