Governor of Sheriff Oborevwori has accused former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege of betraying the political leaders and stakeholders who helped him rise in Delta State politics.
Speaking during an interview with Daily Independent, Oborevwori said Omo-Agege’s decision to leave their political camp did not come as a surprise, noting that many stakeholders had long anticipated the move.
According to the governor, Omo-Agege entered politics in 2002 and enjoyed the support of influential political figures across the state, who played a significant role in shaping his political career.
Oborevwori claimed that despite benefiting from the state’s political structure, the former senator later distanced himself from those who supported him and eventually became opposed to many of his former allies.
The governor also questioned Omo-Agege’s loyalty, alleging that he failed to sustain relationships with key figures who contributed to his political advancement.
He maintained that the fallout was widely expected within Delta State’s political circle, insisting that many had foreseen a split between Omo-Agege and the camp that once backed him.
“Omo-Agege is not somebody to be trusted,” Oborevwori said. “He came into politics in 2002 with nothing. This state made him, but he later fought those who made him.”
