Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate and Delta State APC governorship candidate has reaffirmed his commitment to fostering more inclusive leadership within the Delta APC.
He assured party leaders and members in Delta State that the APC would adopt a more participatory approach to decision-making, ensuring that every stakeholder has a voice.
According to Senator Omo-Agege, who also leads the Delta APC, this renewed focus on inclusivity aims to harness diverse perspectives, accommodate all interests, and empower stakeholders to contribute to the party’s future direction.
Speaking at an interactive stakeholders’ meeting in Patani, attended by party members, stakeholders, and leaders from across Delta State, Senator Omo-Agege stated: “I do not claim to have a monopoly on good ideas. It is through conversations like these that we can develop better solutions to move our party and state forward.”
The meeting was part of Omo-Agege’s statewide thank-you tour, aimed at reviewing the party’s performance in the last elections, identifying mistakes, and making corrections ahead of the 2027 elections.
Acknowledging past missteps, Omo-Agege remarked: “We have made mistakes, but what matters is that we are engaging in stakeholder discussions.
“This is an opportunity for us to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and refine our strategies. We must work together to build a stronger, more united party that truly represents the interests of all Deltans.”
Senator Omo-Agege expressed gratitude to APC members and voters in Patani for their unwavering support despite facing intimidation and hostility from opposing forces. He acknowledged the hardships and sacrifices made by some members, including physical attacks and harassment, and commended their dedication and perseverance.
“I sincerely thank you all for standing by me and our party. Your support is truly remarkable, and I am proud that you voted not just for me, but for our President, Senator, and House of Assembly candidate. Your unwavering commitment means the world to me,” he said.
He also assured the party faithful that addressing the concerns they raised would lay the foundation for a resounding victory in all elections in 2027.
The Delta APC governorship candidate emphasised the critical role of women in politics, assuring APC women that the party would support and recognise them as vital stakeholders.
“Women are the backbone of our party and our communities. They play a crucial role in elections, and we must ensure they receive the support and recognition they deserve.
“I assure you that the concerns raised by our women leaders will be addressed, and we will work tirelessly to promote gender inclusivity and empowerment within our party,” he pledged.
Omo-Agege urged party faithful to strive for unity at the unit and ward levels, emphasising that internal crises would be resolved and that the Delta APC would emerge stronger and more resilient.
“Political conflicts and internal crises are inevitable, but we must work through these challenges to strengthen our party. We must build bridges, foster dialogue, and promote understanding among our members. By doing so, we will create a more united, cohesive, and formidable party that can secure victory in future elections.”
Finally, Omo-Agege reassured party loyalists that their hard work and sacrifices would not go unnoticed, promising recognition and rewards for those who had stood by the party.
“We will ensure that those who have worked tirelessly for our party are recognised and rewarded. We appreciate your dedication, perseverance, and commitment to our shared vision. We will continue to stand by you as we move forward together towards a brighter future for Delta State and our great party,” he concluded.
