Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta state, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declaration of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, gubernatorial flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the governor-elect following the March 18 governorship election.

Oborevwori defeated Ovie Omo-Agege, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to be declared the winner on Monday. The PDP candidate polled 360, 234 votes while Omo-Age secured 240, 229 votes.

Omo-Agege in a statement signed by his media aide, Sunny Areh, said the declaration was made despite the myriad of infractions and acts of impunity on the part of the PDP in the course of the election.

Omo-Agege who is the Senate President, said the governorship election in the state was characterized by massive fraud, unprecedented vote buying and voter suppression perpetrated by the PDP in the course of the election.

“The fraudulent nature of PDP’s so-called victory is just too damning and daring for it to be acceptable in any decent society. Most of those infractions are in the public domain and known to INEC officials and the security agencies involved in superintending the election.

“In the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections, the results pointed to an unequivocal rejection of the PDP. Of the three senatorial zones in the state, APC won two while PDP controversially edged out the Labour Party in the Delta North Senate race.

“It was an unadulterated verdict of Deltans on how they have fared under 24 years of governance of their state by PDP.

“On the basis of the factors listed and more that will come later, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, governorship candidate of the APC in Delta State as well as the leadership of the party, unequivocally reject the declaration by INEC of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori of the PDP as winner of the March 18 governorship election.

“As a democrat and Deputy President of the Senate, Omo-Agege will explore all lawful avenues to reclaim the mandate freely given to him by the good people of Delta State.

He urged the numerous supporters of APC and the entire public that share in Omo-Agege’s vision of building a new Delta State to remain calm, peaceful and law abiding.
