A former Deputy President of the 9th Senate and Leader of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has welcomed the Governor of the state, Sheriff Oborevwori, to the party.
The Eagle Online recalls that Oborevwori and his predecessor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, last week defected from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Reacting to the development, Omo-Agege said in a statement on Sunday: “The leadership of the Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) warmly welcome His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and all leaders and members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC). This historic move underscores the success of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in driving growth and development in our country.
“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.
