Some stakeholders in the state scolded Omo-Agege that telling lies against Okowa, the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Pary (PDP), will not make him popular as APC candidate in Delta State. They cited the numerous projects of the Okowa administration to show where the public fund was spent in the state.
The APC governorship candidate, on his official twitter page, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege @OvieOmoAgege had posted: “The Deputy Senate President and Delta APC Governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has again accused the Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration of squandering N2.8 trillion in Federal Allocation and 13% Derivation in the last seven years, with next to nothing to show.”
