Don’t vote in people who will sell Nigeria-   Omo-Agege

The Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, has cautioned Nigerians to be wary of politicians who are capable of selling the country if they find their way to the corridor of power in the 2023 general elections.
Senator Omo-Agege said politicians who supervised the sales of critical national assets to themselves and cronies in the past do not deserve the votes of any Nigerian.

He said, such politicians, if they find their way to power, they will not hesitate to sell-off Nigeria to themselves and neighbouring countries.

The Delta APC governorship candidate spoke on Tuesday at the grand finale of APC ward-to-ward campaign to Delta Central senatorial district in Ughelli, Ogor and Agbarho towns in Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state.

Omo-Agege posited that opposition politicians who are gallivanting round Nigeria presently were those who sold Delta Steel Company (DSC) and other national assets at paltry sum to their associates, they’re now ganging up to selling whatever that is left.

The Deputy Senate President called on Nigerians to vote en masse for APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as the next President of Nigeria, stressing that the former Lagos governor will not sell-off critical national assets like his PDP opponent, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

He further charged the Deltans to vote him as the next governor and other APC candidates for other various positions during the coming polls.

“Tell them that we are tired of the Okowa administration and the PDP administration. That for seven and half years, they have reduced us to secondhand citizens in our state. Okowa has treated our state treasury in the past seven and a half years as a personal treasury.

“You see DSC in Udu, you know how it was before, once you graduate from school they will give you a job, but today the same people that sold DSC which was established with $1.5b, but was sold to their friends for $30m want to get back to presidency. Those same guys are the ones who are coming back saying they want to become president.

“If they come back, they would even sell all of us. They will take us to our neighbouring countries and sell us all out, because after they finish selling all the companies what is left for them to sell, is it not us? Do you wish to be sold?

“That is the reason we must come out and make sure that their ticket, Atiku-Okowa ticket, is not voted for. So, vote for Tinubu for president and all other APC candidates at the polls. Deltans will benefit more from Tinubu-Shettima presidency”, Omo-Agege stated.
