Omo-agege, Others Disappointed, Stranded, Frustrated as Tinubu Fails To Show Up



The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Ovie Omo-Agege, and other leaders of the party in the state were disappointed Wednesday after waiting all day at the Osubi airport, Warri for the arrival of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who failed to show up.


Some of the other people stranded at the airport, waiting for Tinubu include Omo-Agege’s running mate, Friday Osanebi, members of his campaign council, party leaders and supporters.


Omo-Agege and others had gathered at the Osubi airstrip, Warri, at about 10 am, awaiting the arrival of Tinubu for an assessment tour of the communities ravaged by flood in the state.


But after waiting for several hours, Tinubu failed to show up.

It was gathered that party members were mobilised from the 25 local government councils.


Lamenting what she called “wasted time and energy,” a member of the Omo-Agege governorship campaign council, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described the experience as bitter.


She said they abandoned all other engagements to wait all day for the party’s presidential candidate who failed to show up.


“It was very disappointing and shameful. Our party members were so tired and hungry waiting under the scorching sun. They waited for our presidential candidate and at the end of the day, he failed to show up.


“There was no proper arrangement at all. Unfortunately, as our presidential candidate was being expected here in Osubi airport, he was attending an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Ikeja and there was no communication to us to that effect. It was a disgraceful outing for us today and I pray next time this does not happen,” the party chieftains said.


It was gathered that as a way of saving face, the state APC governorship candidate, Omo-Agege, hurriedly turned the occasion into a mini-rally and made a pronouncement of a joint donation of N200 million on behalf of Tinubu for the state flood victims

In a petition signed by over 30 members of the community, they're demanding the immediate sack of Mr. Nwanevu.  'We, the concerned people of Ndi Ebe Abam feel it is our collective responsibility to expose the unholy attitude of surveyor Nwanevu and equally demand for his immediate removal to face sanction following his interest and partisanship on this subject matter.  It is quite obvious that surveyor Nwanevu has lost the credibility and integrity to continue the exercise because of his selfish interest and compromise in discharging his duty, the community wrote.
