Monarch Optimistic That Omo-Agege ‘ll Do Amazing Job as Delta Governor

The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Benjamin Keagborekuzi Ikenchuku Gbenoba (Keagborekuzi 1), has expressed optimism that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege will make an amazing governor, if given the chance to serve. Omo-Agege, who is currently the Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, is the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State for the 2023 general election.

Responding to a brief speech by the APC candidate on the reasons for the visit, the monarch described the senator as exemplary, saying, “You are a shining light in Delta State, and you have been able to shine in Abuja.

“Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the Speaker, Sheriff Oborevwori are your friends. What we want is the best for the State and the nation, and I am sure and know that you will do an amazing job as governor of Delta State.”

Senator Omo-Agege had earlier told the paramount ruler of Agbor Kingdom that many things have gone wrong in Delta State, and he was leading a revolution to usher in a new state.

He pledged to upgrade the University of Delta to its proper status, other than the glorified College of Education it is now.

Meanwhile, the Delta State APC chair, Omeni Sobotie, at the Ika South APC campaign rallies, said the wickedness brought on the people of Ika by the present administration for the past seven and a half years will end when Omo-Agege becomes the governor.

Also speaking at the event, the Ika South APC Chairman, Hillary Fada Igbude, lamented that Governor Okowa left only the faculty of education in the University of Delta, Agbor, and took all other faculties to the Owa-Alero campus.

“Eight years of Okowa is eight years of suffering for the Ika people. Okowa and the PDP have treated us as conquered people, and we are going to pay him back in his own coins,” he said.
