“The Delta steel company in the state is not for sale.
“I will ensure the dreams and aspirations of people of the state are achieved.
“I will fulfill the promises made to you. Your dreams will be realized. Warri is going down. They don’t know the way, the knowledge, the road to development. We know the way.
“Go to Lagos and see record of development and prosperity. I am here; hope is here; prosperity is here,” said Tinubu.
He also emphasized that his administration would work hand-in-hand with OmoAgege as governor to create countless opportunities for development for the people of the state.
“OmoAgege, as the next governor, will work with me, the next president, to bring development.
“OmoAgege represents renewed hope. Your steel industry is not for sale. They are for developments,” he added.
Meanwhile, the National Chairman, who was represented by the Deputy National Chairman, Chief Emma Eneukwu, also enjoined all citizens to vote for all candidates of the party in the state.
Senator OmoAgege in his speech challenged the Delta state government led by governor Ifeanyi Okowa of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to account for funds that accrued to the state from the thirteen percent derivation fund, internally generated revenue, stressing that the government had failed to meet the aspirations of the people.
He said he would replicate his success in the Senate across the state, when elected governor.
“Our people have decided to reject Okowa.
“We want to change the narrative; that is why I, Ovie OmoAgege, formally put myself forward for the office of governor of the state.
“I have served the state in various capacity and at the Senate. I will put all my experience to bring development to our state,” he added.
