Ovie Omo-Agege, governorship candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta, has appointed Godsday Orubebe, former
minister of Niger Delta affairs, as director-general of his campaign council.
In a statement on Wednesday, Omo-Agege said Orubebe will
lead “critical engagements” that would culminate in the defeat of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) at the polls.
Orubebe was a national agent of the PDP in the 2015 general
election.
He resigned his membership of the party in June.
The deputy senate president said bringing the former
minister on board strengthens his campaign.
“Orubebe shall, side by side with me, lead critical
engagements and drive consultations, and by his renowned robustness, up the
ante for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,” he said.
“Together with the rest of the team, we shall show PDP the
way out of Government House come May 29, 2023.
“Bringing him on board strengthens the campaign organisation
straightaway, and builds a strategic redoubt of crucial stakeholders at the
grassroots for the contest ahead.
“When news of Elder Godsday Orubebe’s resignation from the
PDP filtered in, June, our campaign organisation applauded him for toeing the
path of progress and enjoined him to pitch tent with progressives in the APC,
and help in the task of taking over Government House come 2023.
“I am proud to announce that he heeded that call and joined
our party, the APC, in his ward at Burutu Local Government Area.
“He will be bringing to our campaign organisation his vast
reach at the grassroots, as well as at the state and federal levels, having
been a supervisory councillor and chairman of local government, a state party
chairman, and a two time minister of the federal republic.”
