Ochei Backs Omo-Agege With Full Chest, Rebuffs Claims Of Sitting On The Fence

Speaker Emeritus of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Victor Ochei has dispelled suggestions of his aloofness from the Ovie Omo-Agege aspiration to be governor of Delta State, saying he is fully backing all APC candidates in the state.

Ochei spoke at the APC ward-to-ward campaign in Aniocha North LGA, saying that Omo-Agege is best positioned to take the state forward.

GWG.NG reports that suggestions of Ochei’s indifference to the Omo-Agege aspiration had been fueled by the issues that preceded the emergence of the new executives in the state after critics including the former speaker of the House of Assembly accused Omo-Agege of filling all positions with his surrogates.

However, Keyamo who led the charge and gathered several other critics with him has since realigned and endorsed Omo-Agege.

Ochei, Executive Director for Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services of NIMASA, speaking at the rally assured electorate particularly from Delta North that the Anioma people has a lot to benefit from an Omo-Agege-led government.

He spoke as the Omo-Agege campaign train touched ground at Onicha-Ugbo, Issele-Uku and Onicha-Olona.

While appealing to the people to support Omo-Agege, Ochei said:

“For those who say I have left APC, come and see. I am fully with APC. I am fully with Ovie Omo-Agege as the next governor of Delta State. Omo-Agege is my friend. We have known for years and I can assure you that Omo-Agege will protect the interest of our people.

“Anioma people, I am here to assure you that I am with Omo-Agege. I am here to shame those who say I cannot work with Omo-Agege that I have come to campaign for him as our next governor of our state. Vote for Omo-Agege. He is the best person to be the next governor. He will do for Anioma Nation what he will do for Urhobo or Delta South”, the former speaker said.

Omo-Agege speaking at the occasion mocked the PDP’s prosperity for all Deltans saying it was only true for a privileged few.

He said contrary to insinuations that there was no APC in Delta North, that the party was fully on ground and strongly united as one big family.

Omo-Agege, who said the “Prosperity for all Deltans” Governor Okowa promised in 2015 is now only for his family, disclosed that the State Government has received over N2.3trn, N340bn from PMB and also borrowed N400bn.

“Deltans including we all know here are owing the Debts Okowa borrowed. So because of that, we Deltans are resolute and have agreed that we are not going to allowed Okowa to have a 3rd term through Sheriff Oborevwori”. He added.

“We will strengthen our women with meaningful empowerments and not fifty thousand naira starter packs empowerment they are giving our beloved women.

“With Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President, a ranking Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as a principal officer in the Senate, Hon. Dr. Tony Nwaka in the House of Representatives and Bazim Sally Biose in the House of Assembly, it will be very easier for me to deliver to Deltans in all areas because me alone cannot do it all easily. Please vote for APC in all elections and you won’t regret it”. Omo-Agege stated.
