THE DAY NDOKWA REFUSED TO BE SILENCED

It was on the 25th of August, 2025 at Kwale. The drums of Ndokwa were rolled out and the beats were loud and clear. The sons and daughters of Delta gathered in a river of humanity, flowing like the Ase Creek at flood tide. It was not just a rally, it was a covenant of loyalty, a public proclamation that the people stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and with their own son, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the Obarisi of Urhobo land, the voice of Delta’s tomorrow.

The crowd swelled through Kwale’s streets. Market women with wrappers tied firm, youths with restless fire in their eyes, elders whose walking sticks tapped the rhythm of unity. The air was electric, like harmattan thunder before the rain, and every chant carried the weight of hope. They came not out of compulsion, but conviction; not with violence, but with the vision and persuasion that Delta must rise into the fullness of her destiny.

For years, Kwale and the Ndokwa nation had longed for recognition, for a hand that would break the jinx of underdevelopment. It was Omo-Agege who knocked on Abuja’s doors until they opened, delivering the Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences for Kwale. This is a legacy carved not in promises, but in stone. Like yam tendrils finding sunlight, this university will grow into healing, jobs, and future for Delta’s children.

At the rally, Omo-Agege’s words rang with clarity in his absence: “Delta must no longer watch her wealth flow away like crude on a pipeline while her people live in want. We will not be spectators—we will be builders.” His voice and assurance through his representatives was a call to courage, to reclaim dignity and channel resources into schools, hospitals, and industries that touch the common man.

Critics may mutter, but even the loudest detractors cannot drown the song of the people. The rally showed one truth: the ground is still firm beneath Ovie Omo-Agege’s feet. His name stirs hope in villages by the creeks, in farmsteads across the red earth, in towns where the youth seek jobs and the elders yearn for peace.

Kwale spoke, and Delta heard. The gathering was not chaos but chorus, a chorus that Tinubu has allies in Delta, and Omo-Agege has an army of believers ready to march with him into the future.

In the heart of Ndokwa, a flame was lit, and its glow will travel beyond the raffia swamps and palm groves, carrying one message: to towns and cities of Delta State that: Delta stands ready, and Ovie Omo-Agege is the man to lead her to her rising.

Agege is coming

Agege is here.
