Delta Unity Group (DUG) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, endorsed the governorship ambition of the All Progressive Congress (APC), candidate, Ovie Omo-Agege.

The endorsement was signed by the group’s Chairman, Board of Trustees, Prof. Patrick Muoboghare; Chiedu Ebie, co-convener; and Chief Itiako Ikpokpo, co-convener, and made available to journalists in Asaba, the state capital.

The group is made up of eminent leaders of the state chapter of the PDP, drawn from all senatorial zones, federal constituencies, state constituencies and councils across the state.

According to the group, Omo Agege had repeatedly approached and consulted DUG and in the series of sessions held with DUG, he explained, satisfactorily, details of his agenda and his message of hope, which are necessary at this critical moment of decision that will guarantee the future of the state or otherwise.

“It is a known fact that the leadership and membership of DUG are desirous of a state geared towards a fast-paced and sustainable socio-economic development, which we believe are achievable through a well thought out modernisation process by a state chief executive possessing necessary level of intellect, competence and capacity to steer the ship of state in these precarious times.

“Going further, we are happy to announce that the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for the governorship election in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has agreed to fully integrate and incorporate the modernisation agenda of Olorogun David Edevbie into his Build A New Delta (BAND) governance agenda for the state.

“It is on this basis and the general yearnings of Deltans and friends of Delta that we, as members of DUG, fully endorse the candidacy of the APC governorship candidate and Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, in the coming governorship elections holding on March 11, 2023.”

DUG also called on Delta residents and friends of Delta, including the “teeming eligible voting youths in the state to join this patriotic and altruistic task, unfailingly.”
