Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 general elections, has said that deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, the APC gubernatorial candidate in Delta State, will be governor of "Niger Delta State." He made the gaffe while speaking in Oporoza, Gbaramatu Kingdom in Delta State on Friday. In a video, while acknowledging dignitaries in the audience, Tinubu said, “I equally recognise today the deputy senate president currently and he will be the governor of Niger Delta State.”
