••Reminds PFN that Tinubu’s Wife is A Redeemed Pastor, As He Engages Delta Christian Leaders

Deputy President of the Senate and Delta State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has said  the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  Vice Presidential Candidate, Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, and Delta PDP gubernatorial candidate, house speaker, Sheriff Oborevwori, are only seeking public office to evade giving account of the N3.5 trillion received over the last seven years.

Omo-Agege who spoke during a Townhall meeting with TEKAN/ECWA bloc of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Saturday, December 10, in Warri, said if the duo of Governor Okowa and Speaker Oborevwori are elected as vice president and governor, they would get immunity to evade giving account of the N3.5 trillion naira that the state received in the past seven years and half years.

“Electing both men to those offices, he maintained, would also enable them escape justice for plunging the state into a further N400 billion debt, all with nothing to show,” Omo-Agege was quoted as saying in a press statement made available to GWG.ng by Ima Niboro, spokesman of the Omo-Agage Campaign.

Senator Omo-Agege said while he has nothing personal against Okowa and Oborevwori, he said the outgoing governor’s judgement on issues are wrongheaded, and his choice of Sheriff an obvious nonstarter.

He insisted while there are constitutional institutions that address public corruption, the most urgent task when you believe that your political leaders are corrupt is to vote them out.

“There is nothing to show for the over N3.5 trillion naira they have received in the past seven and half years and if the people of Delta State agree with me, they should make sure Okowa does not become vice president and Sheriff, governor of Delta State,” Omo-Agege said to enable them give account of their stewardship.

He assured that he would not witch-hunt anyone when elected governor stating there is enough wealth accruing to the state to expand its economic base,  and more than enough to run its affairs.

“I am a public servant, I want to render service to my people by becoming governor and you will not regret making me your governor. When you chest out for me and I emerge governor, you will not regret it,” he said.

Head of the CAN bloc, Revd Samson Ichi, speaking on behalf of TEKAN/ECWA leaders across Delta State, assured Senator Omo-Agege of their prayers.  “We are not partisan, our role is to pray for you, any time you need us, call upon us and we will pray for you,” he said.

He urged  PFN to encourage their members to vote for all APC candidates, including Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and himself. 

He noted that the Church can only benefit with Tinubu as President, because “his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and five of their children are Christians.”

He added that Tinubu’s wife is also a proud daughter of Delta state who deserves Deltans’ support in the contest to elect her husband president in 2023.
