The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state on Media, Comrade Nelson Egware, Monday, described members of the new Delta Unity Group (DUG) who defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state as failed politicians.
In a statement in Asaba, Egware described the DUG members as a group of failed politicians and intolerant losers who had their time in privileged positions in the past but apparently failed to justify the privileged positions by impacting meaningfully in the lives of the people.
Describing the decision of the defecting members of DUG as the last kicks of a dying horse, Egware said no one pulls down the house he helped to build.
He said the celebration of DUG members’ defection by the Deputy President of the Senate and governorship candidate of the APC, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, was “dead in the water” because his gubernatorial ambition would fall flat on election day.
The SSA said Omo-Agege’s claim that the DUG members made things happen for the PDP in the past was fallacious and mendacious as the party was not built around individuals or any leader for that matter but firmly around the people.
According to him, “I was waiting to see the new names Omo-Agege was calling a tsunami, but alas! The defectors were same disgruntled party members that already left the party due to personal reasons.
“Many of them were not pleased with the emergence of Hon Sheriff Oborevwori as governorship candidate of the party and derided him with all manner of unprintable names but they forgot the place of grace in the life of any man.
“Oborevwori’s choice as gubernatorial candidate is divine and no amount of gang up will derail the M.O.R.E. Agenda from manifesting in the state because whom God has blessed, no man can curse.”
Egware, who is also Delta State Liaison Officer, Strategic Communications, PDP Presidential Campaign Council, noted that the dice were loaded against Omo-Agege in the gubernatorial contest, adding that no amount of gang up and propaganda would give him victory over Oborevwori.
