Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has declared himself victorious in the All Progressives Congress Senate primary for Delta Central Senatorial District, citing what he described as a decisive win across all 85 wards in the district’s eight local government areas.
In a statement personally issued after Monday’s election, Omo-Agege thanked party leaders, delegates and members for what he described as their “resolute support and historic turnout.”
He said collated results showed “long open-secret balloting queues in my favour,” which he described as evidence of an overwhelming mandate for his shared vision with the APC in Delta Central.
The statement read, “I extend my deepest gratitude to the leaders, delegates and members of the All Progressives Congress in Delta Central Senatorial District for your resolute support and historic turnout in today’s Senate primary election.
“Based on collated results from all 85 wards across our eight local government areas, we have won decisively. Across the senatorial district, there were long open-secret balloting queues in my favour, reflecting your overwhelming mandate and commitment to our shared vision for Delta Central and the APC.
“This outcome is a clear endorsement of our mission to strengthen the party and deliver stronger representation at the national level. I am humbled by the trust you have placed in me and inspired by the unity, discipline and order displayed at every ward voting centre.
“With this mandate, we will go on to contest the general election and win — not only securing the Senate seat for the APC, but also delivering the district for President Bola Tinubu in the presidential election on the same day.
“In line with the directive of the National Organising Secretary of the APC yesterday, we now await the official declaration by the national headquarters in Abuja. I call on all members to remain calm, united and focused as the party concludes the collation and announcement process.
“This victory belongs to every APC member in Delta Central who stood for fairness, party cohesion and progress. Moving forward, I will redouble my efforts to serve our people, defend the interests of Delta Central in the Senate and work for the success of the APC across Delta State and Nigeria.
“Thank you for making your voices heard and for standing firm at the ward level.”
