The Deputy Senate President made this claim at the inauguration of party executives in the state.
Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, is confident the All Progressives Congress (APC) have what it takes to win next year’s gubernatorial election.
Speaking at the installation of APC executives on Wednesday, February 16, the senator asserted the party can work together to defeat plans of the incumbent, Ifeanyi Okowa, to hand-pick a replacement to lead the state having served for two terms.
“This inauguration of our state executives is a major milestone in our battle to sack the PDP occupation of the government house, Asaba,” Omo-Agege stated.

“Our goal now is to defeat Okowa and whoever he is planning to impose on the people of Delta.
Speaking further, Omo-Agege stressed the importance of everyone uniting and pulling together due to the magnitude of their ambition.
“As we celebrate, let me remind us that we have a lot of work to do. My chairman, I want to implore you to hit the ground running,” he said.
“As we move forward, let us forgive and forget our differences, because if we must win, then we must be united in battle.”
The state APC chairman, Omni Sobotie, echoed Omo-Agege’s sentiment and thanked the party members for their support.
