Omo-Agege welcomes Oborevwori to APC, urges support for governor

Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has urged all members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State to welcome Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to the ruling party.

Omo-Agege, the APC governorship candidate in the 2023 gubernatorial election in Delta State, said Oborevwori’s defection to the ruling party underscores the success of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in driving growth and development in Nigeria.

Omo-Agege stated: “In line with outcomes of deliberations with the national leadership of our Party, the Progressive Governors Forum and Delta APC stakeholders, I wish to assure all stakeholders that any issues arising from this development are being carefully considered and managed with prudence and foresight, in the best interests of our party and our beloved state.

“Let us embrace this development with unity, understanding, and a shared commitment to the progress of Delta State and Nigeria.

“In this renewed spirit of brotherhood in Delta APC, I urge all LGA and Ward Chairmen, their executives, party members, and our teeming supporters to turn out en-masse for the welcome reception of our new members into the APC on Monday, April 28, 2025 in Asaba.

“This development reaffirms our commitment to progressive governance, promising a brighter future for our people and a more prosperous, secure, and united Nigeria. Together, we will work tirelessly to achieve greatness for Delta State and Nigeria.”

The former Deputy Senate President expressed gratitude to Tinubu for his “political sagacity and visionary leadership”, just as he thanked the National Chairman and the National Working Committee of the APC for their support and efforts.
