Oborevwori tackles Omo-Agege, says departure not threat to APC

The governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has criticised the former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, saying he cannot be trusted.

Oborevwori, during an appearance on Arise Television on Tuesday, claimed that they had earlier seen Omo-Agege’s exit, adding that he never consulted anyone.

Recall that the aggrieved politician recently dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after losing at the senatorial primary election.

Reacting, the governor said, “We were aware of his exit, and that was why he was not serious in the context of the primaries, because he never consulted anybody, he never consulted me, he never called leaders.

“His departure is not a threat to us because APC is a big party.

“President Bola Tinubu is my biggest project and we in Delta are solidly behind him. Delta people were deceived earlier but not anymore.

“I can tell you categorically that no Delta person will vote against Tinubu. So we are not bothered about anybody leaving our party.”
