LAGOS NOVEMBER 25TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Senator Representing Delta Central Senatorial zone, Senator Ovie-Omo-Agege has appealed to the Urhobos in Delta state to re-elect him so as to build on the success he had so so far achieved for them.
Omo-Agege who made the appeal in a document titled, “Restoring Urhobo Greatness” made available to Urhobotoday.com said his party had kept his promises to Urhobo people and upheld their part of their bargain of democracy dividend..
“When we campaigned in 2015, I made a promise to the Urhobo people that if given the mandate to represent them in the Nigeria Senate, I would work to raise the profile of Urhobo in the politics of state and country and restore its greatness.
“Today, I’m proud that we have kept our promises and upheld our part of the bargain. Whether on the floor of the senate or outside, the Urhobo voice was heard loud and clear and that’s because I refused to be intimidated or cowed,” he stated.
On his achievements, Omo-Agege said he sponsored nine bills and co-sponsored two which attracted 43 federal government funded projects to Delta Central Senatorial District, adding that he had provided strong leadership for Urhobo in the politics of state and country.
He said it is important that they should be given the chance to build on the success so far achieved so as to continue the effort to restore Urhobo greatness.
“Our future lies in APC, a national party that will give Urhobo the opportunity to be great again,” Omo-Agege assured. We have delivered on our promises, and today Delta Central is better positioned to play a strategic role in national politics. And as we approach another critical election, it is important that President Buhari and the APC are given the chance to build on this success so Urhobo can continue its revival.
“The Urhobo people shouldn’t forget in a hurry how the PDP marginalized the 5th largest ethnic group in Nigeria and the largest ethnic group in Delta. Do not be deceived, Buhari will win again and Urhobo should be part of the success by massively supporting APC and voting for Buhari, Ogboru, myself and indeed for all APC candidates in 2019.
“Sending me back to the senate as a ranking senator, with President Mahammadu in command in Abuja and Chief Great Ogboru in charge in Asaba will strengthen me to do more for Delta Central and the Urhobo people.”
