The appeal followed comments reportedly made by Governor Oborevwori, in which he mocked Omo-Agege’s performance in the 2023 Delta governorship race. Responding in a statement, Omo-Agege said there was no reason for renewed political hostility, noting that they are now on the same side politically and should focus on unity rather than revisiting past battles. Calls for Peace, Unity and Reconciliation Omo-Agege said reopening the 2023 election contest through public remarks or media exchanges serves no meaningful purpose and instead risks deepening division within the Delta APC. He emphasized that the priority for the party should be peace, reconciliation, and collective progress. According to him, if they were still members of opposing political parties, he would have responded differently, but that is no longer the situation since they now belong to one political platform. He stressed that what the APC in Delta State currently needs is unity, not internal conflict. Focus Shifts to 2027 Elections The former senator stated that his primary objective is to ensure victory for all APC candidates in future elections, from President Bola Tinubu to legislative contenders across the state. He acknowledged that the 2023 governorship election is over, noting that the Supreme Court has delivered its final judgment, which he fully respects. Omo-Agege also reiterated his previous congratulations to Governor Oborevwori on his electoral victory, while expressing pride in the support he received from his own political base. Urges Governor to Promote Inclusion He called on Governor Oborevwori, as leader of the APC in Delta State, to work with him in promoting healing, inclusion, and internal harmony. Omo-Agege warned against actions or rhetoric capable of dividing party members, insisting that only a united APC can secure electoral victories in Delta State and strengthen President Tinubu’s prospects in 2027. He maintained that the party’s attention should now be firmly fixed on the future rather than the political conflicts of the past.
