Isoko Progress Forum (IPF), a platform for business professionals, says it has evaluated the manifestos of various candidates in the coming Delta State governorship election and endorsed the candidacy of Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege.
The forum also said it examined their education, professions, leadership qualities, and how they have impacted their respective communities.
According to a statement by Dr. Goodie Omuyeh (National Coordinator) and Dr. Prosper Ahworegba (Secretary General), the group took the decision after various considerations.
He said; “We have come to the indisputable conclusion that Ovie Omo-Agege is a great candidate. His pedigree, honest and pragmatic insight into our beloved Delta State’s problems and needs are unequalled.
“Furthermore, his willingness to examine issues and listen attentively to public’s concerns set him far apart from the other candidates.
“Furthermore, IPF has observed that Omo-Agege is genuinely committed to promoting fairness, social justice, and equity in the state. He has the qualities, comportment, carriage and demeanor to be governor of the state.”
