Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has picked Ossai Osanebi as his running mate for the 2023 election.
Osanebi’s nomination is contained in a statement yesterday by the Director of Communications and Media Strategy, Delta APC Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation, Ima Niboro.
Osanebi represents Ndokwa East in the House of Assembly.
Niboro hoped expressed would add immense value to the ticket. He also hailed Omo-Agege for having confidence in the youths, noting that his choice was a ‘testimony of his belief in the ability of the younger generation to drive the needed positive change in the state’.
He added that the wild jubilation which greeted Osanebi’s announcement was a clear indication of his wide acceptance as a grassroots politician.
He urged the people to support the Agege/Osanebi ticket to build the state, stressing that the team had developed a carefully thought-out roadmap to take the state to greater heights.
The statement added: “Our constitution only allows one choice and we know that Osanebi is a great choice. Nonetheless, I am confident that with God on our side, and by the electoral will of our people, each eminent person who was considered in the vetting process will be given a chance to add value to public governance in strategic roles after the 2023 general elections.
“I am confident that working with Osanebi as our deputy governorship candidate offers the people of Delta, especially our youths, a unique opportunity to repair our broken leadership foundations and build a new Delta. I humbly urge all our people to embrace this as our real chance for true greatness. We are marching toward the New Delta of our dream, and we are unstoppable.”
