Omo-Agege: How APC Can Defeat PDP In Delta

Ahead of ward congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to elect new executives of the party at that level, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has called on party leaders to elect those domiciled in the units as a way of building robust structures to thwart whatever rigging plans other parties may have in the various localities.

He has also charged old party members not to discriminate against recent defectors into the party.

Speaking when he hosted leaders of the party from Delta North Senatorial District in his Asaba residence on Friday, Senator Omo-Agege stressed that a proper structure emplaced at the ward level would be used to win the next general election in 2023.

He tasked leaders of the party on the need for unity.

According to him, party structure at the ward level of every political party determines its successes or otherwise at elections.

“I am more interested in the leadership at the ward level because that is where we are going to be having the engine room to drive whatever we want to do,” Omo-Agege said.

“What we want to do is go to the ward level. And that is where we have the units. My idea is to take the party to the grassroots. And we cannot have only one leader at the ward. We have a lot of leaders at the ward level who can help us in this exercise. I would want us to invite those leaders. I don’t want  any leader per ward to draw up a list of any exco. We want about 10 of our leaders per ward to sit down and allocate these slots to the various units comprising that ward.

He commended leaders of the party in Ndokwa nation for their sacrifices which, he said, have witnessed mass defection of PDP members to APC in the area. He urged them to continue with the drive to enlist more people into the party.

Omo-Agege added: “We don’t have joiners and founders in this party. Everybody has equal stake, entitlement and responsibility. We should celebrate the entrance of new members into the party and not treat them like second-class citizens. There is a lot that will go round when we prevail”.

The event which was graced by the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi; Chairman, Caretaker Committee, APC in Delta State, Prophet Jones Erue; Chairman, APC in Delta North Senatorial District, Prince Fred Mordi; former member of House of Representatives, Hon. Doris Udoh; elder statesman, Chief Hyacinth Enuha; former Commissioner of Housing in Delta State, Chief Paulinus Akpeki; Political Adviser to the Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Omene Sobotie; Chief of Staff to the Deputy President of the Senate, Dr. Otive Igbuzor; his deputy, Alex Onwudiamu Esq among others.
