According to him, after the emergence of the presidential candidate of the party from the North, it was automatic that his running mate will come from the South, and for this, Okowa was found worthy to be selected having met the criteria set by the Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
In his address recently at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra during the inauguration ceremony of the Diaspora Support For Sheriff 2023, the Converner, Olorogun Kingsley Aghworo said all hands must be deck to deliver the Delta State PDP Governorship Candidate, Rt Hon Oborevwori in the March 11th, 2023 general elections.
Melaye in a press statement in reaction to comments said to have been made by Omo-Agege at a campaign rally in Asaba last Thursday stated that there was no time in the four-year tenure of the 8th Senate that any attempt was made or plot hatched to impeach President Mohammadu Buhari as claimed by the Deputy Senate President.
He noted that the issue in question when Omo-Agege was suspended and he led thugs to disrupt the session of the upper chamber of the National Assembly while also seizing the mace was the order of election that should be followed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2019 polls as it was to be included in the Electoral Act.
He noted that in advanced Democratic nations like United States of America, United Kingdom and many others, an alleged common criminal like Senator Agege ought to be gnashing his teeth behind bars over glaring roles in the act of mace snatching and stealing under the principles of criminal conspiracy and common intentioncommitted by him and those he allegedly hired
In his words; “Warri is going down, but PDP don’t know the way for development, they have no brains and don’t have the vision and know the road to prosperity. We know the way, go to Lagos and see development and progress
Speaking during the campaign visit to the five Wards, Rt. Hon. Oborevwori, who is also the National Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, said the poverty rate in the Country between 2019 to 2022 had risen to 23 percent which showed the failure of the APC Government at the Federal level in the Country.
He explained that “the promotion of poverty by the APC-led Federal Government is the cause of insecurity. The unemployment rate had risen, and almost all industries are dead. Even Federal roads that were constantly maintained by FERMA during the PDP-led Federal Government between 1999 to 2015 have stopped.
He said that it was numb for the DSP to have made allusions of a third term agenda by Governor Okowa, and described it as mischievous propagation by the APC governorship candidate.
“We have watched Omo-Agege boasting about terminating Okowa’s Vice-Presidential ambition and also accusing him of having a third term agenda
On the backwardness of the state in terms of development, Omo-Agege decried the poor leadership system of the Delta State Governor whom he described as incompetent, noting that while other States in the Niger Delta and elsewhere are celebrating shiny milestones in infrastructural development, human capacity development, healthcare, education, sustainable economic development, good governance, and improved institutions, the people of Delta State are shell-shocked; benumbed by the sheer audacity of Okowa and his co-travellers as they daily bring the state to its knees. Even sadder is fact that the governor has been going around borrowing with reckless abandon, making the State one of the most indebted in Nigeria even with its monumental FAAC allocation and 13% derivation revenue as an oil producing State.
According to him, 2,500 Artisans have so far been empowered for year 2022, emphasising that the number was doubled for next year because of the determined effort of his administration to kick poverty and unemployment out of the state
