The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege, on Monday lost the governorship seat to the Peoples Democratic Party’s Sheriff Oborevwori.
In the governorship election that took place on Saturday, Omo-Agege polled a total of 240,229 votes which was 120,005 votes short of what his counterpart in the PDP polled. Oborevwori secured 360,234 total votes.
