The NDC candidate for Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, KSJI, on Friday appealed to clergymen in the district to rally support for his re-election bid, even as he raised an alarm over an alleged threat to his life.
Omo-Agege, who served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, made the appeal while addressing members of the Concerned Pastors for Good Governance (CPGG), Delta Central Chapter, at a meeting held at Wetland Hotel, Ughelli.
Addressing the gathering, the former Senate leader recounted his legislative record between 2015 and 2023, listing the establishment of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun; a federal polytechnic and Defence Space School in Orogun; the Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences, Kwale; and an Oil and Gas Industrial Park for the state among the achievements of his previous tenure. He also cited his role in the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act and the Electoral Act, alongside road, health, water, and rural electrification projects he said were executed across the eight local government areas that make up Delta Central.
“I bring all of that up not to boast, but because it’s the reason I’m standing here again,” he told the pastors, adding that he was not making new promises but seeking to continue an existing body of work.
