The Urhobo apex socio-cultural body, Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide, has lauded the Deputy President of the Senate and Delta state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Obaisi Ovie Omo-Agege for his quality representation at the upper chamber.
UPU also lauded Omo-Agege for attracting projects across the nooks and crannies of Delta Central Senatorial District and beyond, adding that he is eminently qualified to lead the state as governor in 2023.
The President-General of UPU, Worldwide, Olorogun (Dr) Moses Taiga stated this on Friday when the lawmaker paid a consultation visit to UPU executives at Okpare-Olomu.
Taiga who spoke on behalf of the Urhobo nation, said the entire Urhobo has observed with satisfaction the quality representation of Omo-Agege, saying that, “I wish to commend Omo-Agege, on his services to Urhobo nation and to Nigeria. I must commend you for the great achievements over the seven years in the senate, it shows you are a worthy son of Urhobo nation.
“We thank you for attracting federal Polytechnic and other federal institutions to Orogun in Urhobo land and also other projects, so we are proud of your role in the past constitutional review exercise and impressed with efforts in the Nigeria electoral Act 2022 that has brought new hope in the country electoral processes.”
Speaking earlier, Omo-Agege thanked the UPU for their warm reception and promised to turn things around when he assume the position of Delta state governor in 2023, even as he called on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to withdraw from the presidential race having betrayed the Southsouth.
“Okowa-led administration is amassing loans every day. When Governor Uduaghan left office, he left N80 billion debt and people were shouting that he almost destroyed the state. Today, it’s about N400 billion. These loans are used for something you cannot see, and nobody will quarrel about that. It is not a crime to take loans. America is indebted. It is one of the biggest indebted nations in the world.”
