Speaking o behalf of the group Pa.Christopher Ogumala revealed that Olorogun Ovie Omo-Agege is maternally from Warri North which naturally ought to connect soul tides between him, Ibori, and Uduaghan.
He maintained that the best thing to do is to allow their son from the opposition party to take the lead since they all belong to one political family before now.
According to them” Nigerian democracy has come of age where character should Trump over other parochial considerations as Senator Ovie Omo Agege offers a better alternative in the management and sustenance of democracy in the State.
