Delta 'Obidients' Rally Behind Omo-Agege
Supporters of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, in the February 25 Presidential election, have queued behind the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta state, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
Leading up to the March 18 Governorship election in some Nigerian states, a number of the Obidient groups in Delta state have declared their support for the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
The development was disclosed in a statement made available to newsmen in Warri on Saturday by the groups' protem leaders under the Consultative Assembly of Obidients movement, including Udofia Victory, Pastor David Agbroko, Omotuwou Onovirakpo, Moke Mirrabel, Fred Brisibe, Hon Edafe Opum and Engr Grant Oji.
“The Obidients in Warri and Asaba have collectively aligned with and endorsed His Excellency the Deputy President of the Senate, Barr.Ovie Omoagege of the All Progressives Congress (APC)," the statement read in part.
The statement added that though the concerned Obidient groups are autonomous, they however, decided to collectively rally behind the Senate Vice President because for over 24 years, the ruling party in the state, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, failed to live up to the people's expectations.
“It is our collective choice and decision that after 24 years of the PDP poor governance, the democrats must vacate the seat of power for the progressives. This press statement serves as a re affirmation of our resolve," the statement added.
