Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the forthcoming election in Delta State, Chief Great Ogboru, has taken on his erstwhile political son, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for reportedly claiming that the APGA candidate has stepped town for him in the 2023 governorship election.
Omo-Agege, who is a deputy Senate President, is the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming poll in the state.
Reports said that Omo-Agege claimed that Ogboru had agreed to step down for him ahead the 2023 governorship election in the state.
In a fiery riposte, Ogboru was quoted in social media circles to have said: “I better step down (sic) for Sheriff who has the political experience to manage Delta than stepping down for Omo Agege who is too irresponsible to be governor.”
Ogboru, the APGA standard bearer was further quoted to have said: “Omo-Agege cannot win even 20% of the total votes that will be cast in the Delta governorship election even if he has the support of the current political structure in the nation and state behind him.
“He is irresponsible and unfit to be a governor to have authorized that statement.
“The man who just goes to the public to say I have endorsed him. He is a liar. I will not endorse anyone.
“NEVER! Omo Agege is extremely irresponsible.”
