APC Will Change Warri’s Status As Keke Capital Of Nigeria – Sobotie

An APC government in Delta State will change the status of Warri, the commercial capital of the Big Heart as the Keke Capital of Nigeria, Elder Omeni Sobotie, the chairman of the APC in the state has said.

He spoke in Warri as the Deputy Senate President, and APC, gubernatorial candidate in Delta state, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, urged supporters to confidently go out to vote assuring that no one would molest them as law enforcement agents would be available to protect all voters.

Senator Omo-Agege, who led the APC ward to ward campaign trail to Warri South Local Council on Friday, 16th December, promised voters adequate security, adding that any attempt to scare away APC supporters and voters on election day would be forcefully resisted by all lawful means.

He assured APC voters that “ nobody can scare you. Nobody can molest you. There will be adequate security for everyone. And by God’s grace, we shall win.”

Senator Omo-Agege said the era of “local strongmen,” running away with election materials is over. This is the BVAS age, he pointed out, and  those planning to chase away APC  voters shall be “firmly resisted.”

He promised to reactivate the Warri port, ensure the Warri City Stadium works again, revive the Warri industrial park, and attract the various companies that left Warri back to base. He also pledged to increase students bursaries, empower women, create job opportunities for the youths  and provide adequate security in the State.

In his remarks, Delta APC chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, said Warri under Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is the Keke capital of Nigeria, and is looking increasingly deserted. He therefore charged the people to express their anger by voting out Okowa and the PDP.

“Vote Okowa out. Can’t you see that he has no Deltan of repute on his campaign trail? He is on his own,” Sobotie said.

APC political stalwarts in Warri,  including Chief Ayiri Emami, Barr Omasan Agbajoh, Mario Onwume, Dr Michael Merogu, Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto, among others, also urged the people to reject Governor Okowa and PDP outright.

Dr. Merogu, House of Assembly candidate for Warri South Constituency 1, described Senator Omo-Agege as reliable and dependable, saying with him as governor, Warri will rise again, and called for support for his election and total rejection of Okowa and PDP.

House of Reps candidate, Ekpoto Ekpoto, said the PDP is angry because with Senator Omo-Agege as governor, Warri Port will work, Warri Stadium will work and the Warri industrial park will be reactivated. “They are angry and we have rejected them,” he said.

Also speaking, Barr Agbajoh, a former commissioner, said Governor Okowa has no respect for elders and called for greater women inclusion in the in-coming Omo-Agege government. She assured that the APC candidate will be accountable and committed to the development of Delta State.

APC chieftain, Chief Emami, who rang in a chorus and stole the show declared: “This is our town. We, Urhobo, Yoruba, Isoko, Itsekiri, Igala, Hausa, Igbo, Calabar people, everybody is here. One man said he will spoil this town for us. We refuse. APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is our in-law. It was by the force of in-laws that Delta State capital was taken to Asaba. This time, we have the in-law and we will use him well to develop Warri. I don’t support any PDP candidate and any of my followers should not support them otherwise, the ancestors will deal with you. I told you not to support Okowa but you did because of money, how is it now? We reject Okowa and PDP this time around.”
