“When Senator Ovie Omo-Agege was Executive Assistant to former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, I worked with him as Special Assistant. While working with him, I knew him at close quarter as a dynamic leader, kind hearted, straight forward and who do not support foot backing. People think he is not open, but if you get close to him, you will know that he is a man that has the interest of the people at heart.
Today, I am having my country home ‘Camp Moses’ because of his generosity. He does not believe that his followers should wallow in poverty. I will tell you the background of this my house. He gave me money to buy this land and he saw to it that the place was properly developed. I am just one of them. There are so many out there whom he changed their fortunes. It was when Omo- Agege came into politics that people use development of his followers as point of reference of progress. It was then people knew they should have leaders in politics. It is not following leaders in hired vehicles, but they should have their own. I am living example of Omo-Agege generosity.
He is somebody who is always with his people either during merriments or grief periods. He has a dream for Delta State believing that the State is yet to achieve his potentials.
He is a patriot to the core. While he was in America, he was very active in Urhobo activities. People misunderstood who he is, but they are recently getting to know that he is one man who has the course of Urhobo land and Delta State at heart. He is somebody who does not believe that he should own everything in the world. He believes in sharing with the people. I can beat my chest that if giving any responsibility, he will perform beyond the expectation of the people.
God has blessed him so abundantly that he did not need to steal government money to create comfort. He is somebody who is focus and well articulated. You will also know that the name Omo-Agege is a brand name in Delta State. The father served in various parts of Africa before he became Chief Judge of Delta State. Before his mother died, she was Assistant Director in Ministry of Agriculture. Public service is in the blood of the Omo-Ageges. They are like the Kennedy family in America.”
