Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Deputy President of the
Nigerian Senate and Governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has insisted that
power must shift from the North to the South.
Omo-Agege who stated this at the inauguration of State Executive and
Local Government Area Coordinators of Tinubu Support Organization in
Delta State, held at Asaba, said; “the formation of the Tinubu Support
Organization is very timely and commendable.
“I sincerely commend
the organizers of this group for creating a platform to network support
for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to build on
the solid foundation laid by President Muhammadu Buhari, for the rapid
growth and development of our country.
“As a support group in Delta State, your duty is to mobilize support
across the length and breathe of Delta State for our party to ensure
that APC wins Delta State in the presidential and National Assembly
elections in February 2023 and the governorship and House of Assembly
elections two weeks later in March�.
Continuing, the Deputy
President of the Senate, who was represented by Comrade Nnamdi Ofonye,
said; “I urge you to go out and explain to our people that after eight
years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, in line with the
practice of power rotation, that has been in existence since 1999, the
next President should be a Southerner.
“Our party, APC kept faith with this practice and that has been
enshrined in the constitution of both the APC and the PDP and nominated a
Southerner, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its Presidential candidate.
“We
have a formidable Southern candidate in Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is very
important because the current democratic dispensation is anchored on
the unwritten convention of power rotation driven by the principle of
equity.
“It stands on the established principle of giving every part of the
country an important stake in the political arrangement. I urge your
group to campaign with this fact as well as the numerous achievements of
the Buhari-led administration and be rest assured that Deltans will
fully support our great party.
“Let me use this opportunity to
advise the Tinubu Support Organization and the other support groups of
the party to ensure that their utterances and their activities are fully
unifying and not decisive as we campaign for the 2023 election.
“I
call on your members and all our supporters to ensure that you mobilize
for the Tinubu-Shettima and Omo-Agege-Osanebi tickets as both tickets
remains the best option that is fully prepared to reset the country and
our dear State.
“There’s no doubt that Tinubu will bring to bear
on the nation his experience in positively turning around the
socio-economic fortunes of Lagos State.
“Let me assure you and
indeed all Deltans that Tinubu-Shettima victory, will bring about
quality education for all Nigerians, job creation and the elimination of
poverty with a view to eliminating religious and ethnic divisions among
Nigerians as there is an overwhelming need for Nigerians to be united.
“I am very optimistic that Bola Ahmed Tinubu will emerge victorious in next year’s presidential election.
“I
therefore charge all members of the Tinubu Support Organization and
other groups to ensure total victory for our great party during the
forthcoming general election.
“The task for all of you is to make
sure that APC emerges victorious in all elective offices up till the
presidency. I call on Deltans and indeed all Nigerians to rally round
the Tinubu-Shettima ticket and vote massively for APC in all elective
positions in the 2023 general elections�.
In his remarks, the
Delta State Coordinator of Tinubu Support Organization, Mr Philip
Kachikwu, has expressed optimism that Tinubu would emerge victorious at
the polls.
Kachikwu assured that the group would work assiduously
to ensure victory for Tinubu and all APC candidates in the 2023 general
election.
