Few days after the APC Governorship Candidate in the 2023 election, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, rolled out his comprehensive manifesto on how he intends to revive and reform the State when he is sworn-in in May 2023, it has been discovered that agents of the PDP have commenced physical destruction and defacing of the the APC candidate’s billboards in parts of the State.

In a statement on Wednesday, signed by the Director, Communications and Media Strategy, Ima Niboro Delta APC Campaign Organisation, the party accused the governing People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of destroying billboards belonging to its candidate in the March 11, 2023 governorship poll, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, erected across the State.

It further stated that some loyalists allegedly sponsored by the PDP and its candidate, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori were responsible for the undemocratic and un-sportsmanly acts.

Ima Niboro therefore assured that rather than resorting to self help and retaliation, the campaign organisation would officially petition the Delta State Police Command on the ugly development.

The former Presidential Spokesman called on security agencies to investigate and bring to book, those behind the destruction of the party’s candidate bill boards erected at some strategic locations, especially in Uvwie Local Government Area and Osubi, Okpe Local Government Area of the State.

He said: “It is instructive to note that Okpe is the Council Area of the PDP governorship candidate and Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori. And despite these unprovoked attacks, billboards of Oborevwori are still standing in Orogun – the hometown of Senator Omo-Agege.

“There are also countless billboards of Sheriff in Ughelli North LGA, our principal’s council area. We will never give an eye-for-an-eye because Obarisi Omo-Agege respects dissenting opinions, no matter how small. It is not in our character to descend to their level. When they go low, we go high.

“This is not the first time our billboards are destroyed, defaced or damaged. But on each occasion, our campaign organisation replaced them. However, they must realise that nobody has monopoly of violence.

“Sheriff must call his loyalists to order. They must run a clean campaign, one that is issue-based and constructively engaging, and refrain from acts capable of breaching public peace.”
