Tinubu: Group Condemns Misrepresentation Of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’s Christmas Message

By Daniel Dafe

A group, New Delta Coalition has strongly condemned the blatant misrepresentation of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’s Christmas message by Alaowei Okoronwanta, which they believe is an alias used by Festus Ahon, as a disturbing act of misinformation.

A statement signed by Godwin Anaughe on behalf of the group, added that “investigations revealed that Festus Ahon, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Delta State, was behind this false narrative. This is particularly concerning, given Ahon’s role as the official spokesman for the Governor.”

According to the statement, “Ahon’s attempt to misrepresent Senator Omo-Agege’s Christmas message is an evil or demonic effort to ascribe to Omo-Agege what Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his administration actually think about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies.”

The statement said further: “Senator Omo-Agege’s original message was a call to unity, hope, and support for the federal government’s economic reforms. His message acknowledged Nigeria’s challenges while highlighting the necessity of reforms for long-term growth and prosperity.

“The former Deputy President of the Senate’s message was balanced, thoughtful, and reflective of his commitment to President Tinubu’s administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the well-being of Nigerians.

“In contrast, the fabricated story attributed to Alaowei Okoronwanta is a gross misrepresentation of Senator Omo-Agege’s views by the Delta State government.”

“Governor Oborevwori’s public declarations of support for President Tinubu’s administration are therefore questionable, considering his aide’s public criticism of the president’s policies. It’s classic voice of Jacob and hand of Esau.”

The group said that “the Delta state government’s sponsorship of misleading stories and propaganda to undermine the Federal Government only adds to the confusion,” saying “it’s essential for the government to promote truthful and accurate information, rather than spreading misinformation and propaganda.”

“This inconsistency raises serious concerns about the Delta State government’s true stance on the President’s reform agenda and questions not only the governor’s sincerity and character but also underscores the need for clarity on his position regarding federal government policies.

“Governor Oborevwori is only playing political games with the President, as his actions and those of his aides and commissioners do not align with his statements of support. Mere public declarations of support are insufficient; tangible actions and policies must substantiate such assertions. Unfortunately, the Governor’s track record suggests the opposite,” New Delta Coalition added.

They urged the public to disregard the misleading story and instead, focus on Senator Omo-Agege’s original message.

“Furthermore, Festus Ahon and the Delta State government must avoid unethical practices, uphold the truth, and maintain the highest standards of integrity demanded of public office,” the statement concluded.
