Delta 2023: Omo-Agege’s Camp Mum As Key Associates Join PDP

The camp of the deputy president of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege was mum weekend after some of his key associates defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State at a PDP rally in Asaba on Saturday.

Among those who defected were a former deputy chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Mr Cyril Ogodo; immediate past Publicity Secretary, APC, Sylvester Imonina; Delta Central leader and elders council of APC led by Chief Sylvester Kowho; Ovie Omo-Agege Solidarity Movement.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Ogodo and Imonina were expelled at about the time that they also tendered letters of resignation from the party.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa who received the defectors used the opportunity to assure that free and fair primaries would be organized for all elective offices ahead of the 2023 General Election.

He thus urged all those aspiring for offices to control themselves and their supporters.

The governor said: “We are family, we cannot fight. There will be a free and fair primary and so there will be no room for fight.

“Let us work together to ensure that PDP remains on top. Today, I welcome our brothers who have joined PDP and I assure you that we are all one.

“This rally has made a statement that PDP is prepared and united for 2023 elections and we will continue to work with love as one family unlike other parties where they fight.”

The PDP chairman in the state also speaking at the rally said that the rally was programmed to diminish the APC in the state by 90%.

“APC is a failed party, it brought us hardship and negative change which has made Nigeria to become the capital of poverty in the world.

“PDP is Delta and Delta is PDP and we will continue to harvest APC members in the state and we have leaders of APC that have decided to join PDP today” he said.

Others who spoke at the rally included the penultimate governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori; Senator James Manager; and Minority leader House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the defection of the key associates of Senator Omo-Agege is bound to upset the APC in the state but the party remains a threat to the PDP which has governed Delta since 1999 as the DSP is not expected to remain mum for long.
