The Deputy President of the Senate and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 governorship election in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has felicitated with those that emerged victorious in the party’s primaries.
This is even as he expressed confidence that the standard bearers would defeat the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State and emerge victorious in various elections next year, according to a statement issued by Ima Niboro, Director of Communications and Media Strategy for the Ovie Omo-Agege Campaign Organisation.
It would be recalled that the APC had adopted Senator Peter Nwaoboshi unopposed as its Delta North Senatorial District candidate for the 2023 senatorial elections.
Other senatorial aspirants returned unopposed by the party are Chief Ede Dafinone and Chief Joel-Onowakpo Thomas for Delta Central and Delta South senatorial districts, respectively.
Rt. Hon. Francis Ejiroghene Waive was elected the party’s candidate for Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu Federal Constituency.
Senator Omo-Agege equally congratulated other APC candidates in other federal constituencies and state assembly seats in the State, and described the APC primaries as a sign of good things to come in Delta.
According to him, the outcome of the elections is a victory for the Delta APC family, as it has demonstrated the capacity to work together for the good of the party and the State as a whole.
Their mandates, he noted, should be seen as a collective, and they will bring APC members together in the overall success of the party in the 2023 general elections.
“The outcome of the primaries will best be described as no victor no vanquished, as all the aspirants gave a good account of themselves and congratulated each other for a good contest” he said.
He lauded the leadership of the party for ensuring the success of the primary election and for effectively mobilizing its members to participate fully in the electoral process.
