Omo-Agege
By Henry Efe Duku
The conscience and consciousness of the electorate of Delta Central Senatorial District are settled that the All Progressives Congress (APC) committed a grave injustice and self-inflicted harm when it annulled the widely acknowledged landslide victory of the Deputy President of the 9th Senate and Obarisi of Urhoboland, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, in its senatorial primaries of 18th May, 2026. As confirmed by credible and unchallenged evidence gathered by professional and citizen journalists across all 85 wards of the district, the Obarisi won emphatically, polling 109,516 votes against a paltry 7,698 for his rival, Senator Ede Dafinone.
Yet, pandering to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s endless, bitter and unwinnable declared war to retire Omo-Agege, along with other steadfast leaders of the old APC bloc and their legions of fiercely loyal supporters, from politics for the ‘offence’ of daring to challenge him in the 2023 governorship election, the field organisers of the primaries brazenly refused to accept and record the authentic results. This was made possible chiefly by an Urhobo-hater-in-chief who fears that the Obarisi’s return to the Senate would weaken her present unlimited control of the destiny of the Urhobo Nation, exercised through docile, servile and uninformed minds.
