The Labour Party delegation included the Director-General of the Obidient Army, Mr Hendricks Opukeme, Pastor White, the Labour Party chairman for Ukwani Local Government Area among others.
Addressing the gathering, Omo-Agege said he recognized the anger of the Obidients adding that he was with them on the mismanagement of the resources of Delta State by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa adding that his government had nothing tangible to show despite being the highest recipient of oil revenue. Even more painful was that Okowa had piled a mountain of debt.
