Pray For President Tinubu – Omo-Agege Begs Nigerians
A former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has called on Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Tinubu in order to enhance the welfare of the nation.
Nation Post reports that Omo-Agege made this call during his visit to Ughelli in Detla State where he emphasized the importance of Deltans maintaining their involvement in the administration.
Omo-Agege was warmly received by members of the Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC) and other prominent figures, who commended his contributions in the Senate.
Expressing gratitude to his supporters, the former gubernatorial candidate of the APC acknowledged their warm reception.
He said: “I thank you for your electoral support over the years, especially during 2023 Delta State Governorship Election. With your votes, you voted for a new direction. Convinced as civilised democrats that your votes gave us a victory under our laws, we challenged the outcome.
“As we now know, the Supreme Court decided to retain the status quo. A decision we accepted as democrats but disagree with as a matter of law, fact and truth.”
“Our conviction that your good labour actually produced a resounding victory to take our state to a new and better direction remains unshaken and unshakable.
“Thank you for your commitment to our vision of a modern society that runs on innovation, rule of law, values of honest living, service, and transformational ideas. Thank you for believing in the strength of our oneness and the beauty of our diversity. Thank you for helping to push back every false narrative against the plainness of our hearts in the affairs of our people.
“I am touched and humbled by your sacrificial giving to organise this homecoming ceremony. Jesus Christ said in Luke 4:24 “no prophet is welcome in his hometown”. So, what you have done here today, must touch the heart of God in a manner even the most gracious home people in biblical times could not do. Today eloquently testifies that our efforts to engineer the wheels of politics for the good of our people is not in vain,” The Nation quoted Omo-Agege saying.
He further admonished the people to pray for and support President Tinubu, giving them hope that the incumbent administration would surmount the challenges facing the country.
Omo-Agege said: “Let me seize this moment to call on our people to always pray for and support our President and his government. Yes, there are systemic challenges, but as Mr. President rightly states, these are also opportunities for a national renaissance. That President Tinubu is committed to a Nigeria that works for all, rather than just a few, is unquestionable. All we owe ourselves is to ensure we support to Mr. President’s ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda and protect our interests in the confines of the law. We must never allow ourselves to do anything to undermine our government, democracy and the Nation. This is our country and we must protect and nurture it to succeed.”
