Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said that the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and indeed all members of the party have no shame.
Tinubu made the remark during the flag-off of APC presidential and governorship campaigns held at the Warri City Stadium, Saturday, November 19, 2022.
He said the PDP while in government at the centre sold out nearly all of the nation’s assets to their proxies.
“All they sold, where is the money. How long have they been in Delta State, for 23 years of PDP in Delta State what have you seen? Warri is going down. They don’t know the way for development, they have no brains and don’t have the vision and road to prosperity. We know the way, go to Lagos and see development and progress. They are evil people.
“These people, year after year, election after election they lie to you. They have no shame. PDP has no shame. When Atiku was there he was fighting his boss in the public. They were telling us how they used public money to buy cars for their girlfriends. They have no shame.
“But I will fulfil all my promises. I appreciate your show of love for me. It is an indication of your desire for change.”
He affirmed that Ovie Omo-Agege will be the next governor that will develop Delta State.
“Ovie Omo-Agege as governor of Delta State will work with me and bring hope and progress to the State. Your seaports, your steel industry and many areas of development are not for sale but for development,” Tinubu said.
Earlier, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege had assured that when elected as governor, he would work with Tinubu as President to ensure that DSC is reactivated, Warri port is functional, the school of Maritime Academy in Okorenkoko start working, as well as the PSZ at Ogidigben kicking off.
He told Tinubu that the people of Delta State are Christians who do not tolerate traitors adding that “We don’t like treachery and we don’t like traitors”.
Continuing Omo-Agege said, “Most of us in Delta State, we are Christians. We are brought up as Christians, we know what the Bible says about traitors.
“The most famous traitor we are aware of in the Bible is Judas Iscariot. When he betrayed Jesus Christ we all know what happened to him. And today, the latest Judas Iscariot of Southern Nigeria; and I am talking about the Governor of Delta State, the man who is now engaged in an ill-fated adventure to become the Vice President of Nigeria. He is the replica of Judas Iscariot today.
“And to the extent that he has refused to commit political suicide just like Judas Iscariot did. We are asking him to step down immediately from the ticket of Atiku Abubakar.”
Omo-Agege further pointed out that Warri has become the headquarters of Keke capital in Delta State adding that the people are suffering in the midst of plenty and they want the narrative to change.
While stressing that Delta is the most indebted state of all the states in the federation because of Okowa’s recklessness, Omo-Agege said the governor is bringing his stooge who will continue from where he stopped saying “Our people have rejected Okowa and his stooge”.
Omo-Agege appealed to the people of Delta State to vote en masse for APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of the country.
He said Asiwaju Tinubu will create employment and empowerment for the citizens if elected into office.
He said he will reactivate the Warri and Koko ports and bring Delta back to its golden days where jobs will be created for its people.
Former APC Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole who described Senator Omo-Agege as an articulate voice and dogged fighter said he is the next governor of Delta State.
Oshiomhole who spoke pidgin language recalled that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike said President Muhammadu Buhari has released to all Niger Delta States money which the Olusegun Obasanjo regime refused to dole out to them since 1999.
He charged Deltans to ask Okowa where their share of the money was.
“Go and ask Okowa where is our N250 billion, Edo State got N100 billion, where is our N250 billion from 13 per cent oil derivation? You didn’t tell us the federal government gave you such money, now where is the money? Did you use it for your vice-presidential election race?”
The Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan in a remark expressed the belief that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Nigeria’s next governor saying, he will develop the Warri and Koko ports in Delta State.
Highlights of the event were the handing of flags to Tinubu and Ovie Omo-Agege as presidential and Delta State governorship APC candidates.
Among the top APC bigwigs at the event were a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, Abike Dabiri Erewa, Rt.Hon. Dimeji Bankole, Chief (Mrs.) Oluremi Tinubu, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, God’sWill Akpabio, Rt. Hon. Simon Lalong, and Sen. Kashim Shettima.
