Omo-Agege Sets To Declare Guber Intention, Campaign Video Depicting Infrastructure Decay In Delta Surfaces Online 

In the video seen by BIGPENNGR.COM and sponsored by New Delta Professionals in The Diaspora, Omo-Agege is projected as the coming ‘messiah’ who will liberate Delta State from infrastructure decay, insecurity, official malfeasance and unemployment, mediocrity and politics of arrogance among others.

The campaign video depicted Delta as a State littered with thatch houses, dilapidated schools where children read and learn on bare floor despite it oil and gas resources. It said oil wealth of Delta has become a mirage stems from corruption, maladministration among others.

Acknowledging that it is God who crown leaders and drawing example from the Holy Bible of how God raised leaders, the video stated that ‘enough is enough’ of bad governance and wastefulness, politics of exclusion, incompetence and arrogance, maintaining that a new Delta is coming through Omo-Agege governorship of the State.

BIGPENNGR.COM gathered that already mobilization for Omo-Agege’s declaration which is expected to hold April 14, was ongoing across the three senatorial district of the State.

It was reliably gathered that some chieftains of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are expected to defect to the APC at the mega declaration rally being planned for Omo-Agege’s governorship ambition.

Recalls that the Deputy President of the Senate had few weeks ago directed his political appointees under his office who are delegates to the APC primary elections to resign their appointment latest April 11.

A memo by the Office of the Deputy President of the Senate to all members of staff signed by the Chief of Staff, Otive Igbuzor, was dated March 30 and titled, ‘Resignation of all political appointees’.

The memo read, “I write to draw the attention of all political appointees who are delegates to the State House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, Governorship and Presidential Primary Elections, including those who are holding positions in the party, to please put in their resignation letters.

“This has become expedient as a result of the provisions of the recently amended Electoral Act. All resignation letters should get to the Office of the Deputy President of the Senate no later than April 11, 2022.

“Above is for the attention and prompt response of all concerned political appointees of the Deputy President of the Senate.”

Section 84(10) of the Electoral Act reads, “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.”

However, elected officers including governors, deputy governors, the Vice-President and members of the National Assembly and the state legislature will be allowed to contest and participate in the primaries.
