A governorship aspirant in Delta State, Chief Ovie Omo-Agege, yesterday, registered with the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, after decamping from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last Monday.

Speaking during the formal registration ceremony in his home town, Orhomuru-Orogun, Omo-Agege said like the Christian soldiers, he and his supporters  were on the march from political Egypt to the promise land.

He said: “Today, we depart Egypt as the umbrella is torn asunder by strife, conflict, confusion, and disunity. Today, we march onward to victory into the land of the progressives with internal democracy, rule of law and cohesion as the watchwords of the new platform-Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN.

“We hearken to the voice of our people that never again shall a cabal seize the destiny of the state and hold it thralldom. We sweep away bad government, corruption, oppression, suffering, incompetence, chicanery and god-fatherism.

“There is no doubt that over the years, going through the painful twist and turns of history, Deltans have become overwhelmed by the burden of disillusionment.”

But we are an ever optimistic people who believe that the sun of greatness shall shine on Delta State.
“This optimism has kept the hope and aspiration of our people alive. Today, our dear people have joined forces with the progressives marching to victory through Lagos, Ekiti and Edo with big contest for Delta State in view.”
