APC Set To Dominate Delta Politics – Omo-Agege
Reviewing the ward congresses of the All Progressives Congress APC, in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege on Saturday said that the party is now set to dominate the politics of Delta State.
Omo-Agege who was vociferous in urging the conduct of the congress against assertions of illegality perceived from the recent Supreme Court judgment on the Ondo governorship election has also called on winners of the elections to be magnanimous in victory.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the congress was also preceded by sharp differences between Omo-Agege who is the president of the Senate and his rivals in the state chapter as led by Festus Keyamo, the minister of state for labour and productivity.
“Our people simply reaffirmed the reality that the APC has truly attained new, robust strategic electoral strengths to dominate the politics of Delta State,” Omo Agege said in a statement made available to GreenWhiteGreen GWG.
“We thank our leaders and members for ensuring that the Ward Congress in Delta State and other parts of the country is overwhelmingly successful. It is equally commendable that where divergences of opinions existed, such were largely handled responsibly, lawfully and harmlessly. That is the essential spirit and beauty of democracy – finding compromise from initial different perspectives through civilised means.
“It is in our collective interest for today’s winners to be genuinely magnanimous in victory by embracing and respecting their opponents. Nobody should be treated as a loser under any circumstances. Mutual respect through constructive engagements is a critical component of productive politics. Our new ward executives are trusted to humbly embrace this approach in piloting the affairs of our party at the grassroots.
“Here in Delta, the positive spirit of purpose that preceded the Ward Congress has further strengthened our party. This should guide us to earn and deliver future electoral victories. We must redouble our efforts to ensure that the gains of this leadership re-engineering process guide us to heal divisive tendencies, stop self-harming anti-party schemes and properly reward all who truly demonstrate fidelity to the progressive ideology of our great party.
“We are rebuilding our party to win elections convincingly and comprehensively in 2023. With God, nothing will ever stop us. We can only continue to humbly ask our leaders and members to give absolute loyalty to the party ably led by the Chairman of our Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, and support President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR with constant patriotism and prayers so much needed for the huge task of nation-building, even as we move confidently to sweep Delta State clean in 2023.”
