Delta 2027: Why I told Omo-Agege not to challenge Gov Oborevwori, by Senator Nwaoboshi

-

Senators peter Nwaoboshi vs Omo-Agege 

   Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Niger Delta and an All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Delta State, has accused some persons in the Presidency of ganging-up against the former leader of the party in the state, the gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 elections and a former Deputy Senate President (DSP), Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. By MorufAkanbi 
 TNwaoboshi, popularly known as Oracle, told Sunday Vanguard in an interview that the persons he vowed to expose have prevented Omo-Agege from getting anything from the present government. He said, as a brother and an older politician, he had advised Omo-Agege not to scramble for the gubernatorial ticket of the party with the incumbent Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who is the new leader of the Delta APC, because it is difficult to win against a sitting governor. 🤫 The party chieftain disclosed that Omo-Agege discussed his concerns with him, and he (Nwaoboshi) had met with Oborevwori and urged him to address the issues the former DSP raised. Excerpts:

When you recently visited Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at the Government House, Asaba, you said his joining the APC is a game-changer. But your friend, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, is gunning for the 2027 ticket. How is Oborevwori a game-changer?

Omo-Agege, to the best of my knowledge, is not running for the governorship under the platform of APC in 2027. I have advised him as a senior brother and someone older than him in the game of politics. I have told him he cannot run if he remains in the APC and the governor remains in the APC. He cannot win the party’s primary, and it will be difficult for him to win the election. I have had private meetings with him and apprised him of my position. When Chief James Ibori was governor, he ran for a second term; nobody challenged him in the primary. When Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan ran for a second term, no aspirant challenged him, and when Senator Ifeanyi Okowa ran for a second term, nobody challenged him. I am talking about the party primary. It is difficult for him to change the system when a sitting governor is running for a second term. I have advised him, and I don’t think so based on my personal meeting with him, our former governor, Ibori, and other leaders.
