Former Secretary to Delta State Government (SSG) and Chairman of Urhobo Political Congress (UPC), Chief Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, has attributed the success of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in recent Delta Central bye-election to the achievements of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s administration.

Omo-Agege, who spoke at Orogun, Delta State, during a victory rally organized by Ughelli North  Chapter of  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to celebrate the  success of the party  in the election which saw Senator Emmanuel Aguariavbodo emerging victorious, maintained that the party would not have been celebrating without the resolute support of Uduaghan whose  strong leadership made the victory possible.

He said the people of Delta State are better off  than when the governor took office in 2007. “I am so proud of our governor’s record and grateful for all he has done to make us safe and stronger. The infrastructure he has built to drive our economy and more importantly for his vision of Delta Beyond Oil which has laid a solid foundation  for future economy that can sustain itself when oil become less significant in our national life,” Omo-Agege said.

Omo-Agege, who recently emerged as the Chairman of Urhobo Political Congress (UPC), pointed out that PDP won the Delta Central senatorial bye-election because the party had superior organization that is evident in the structures it has built over the years in every ward of the state.

According to him, “Our unity in the election made the difference between success and failure. The opposition expected us to fight ourselves and when we did not, they failed strategically and we succeeded in winning back our seats.”
