It was a show of overwhelming support and political solidarity on Saturday as thousands of supporters staged a one-million-man march in Ughelli, Delta State, in honour of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy Senate President and President Bola Tinubu.
The march, which took place across major roads in Ughelli North Local Government Area, drew a massive crowd of party loyalists, youth groups, women associations, and community leaders chanting pro-APC slogans and carrying placards bearing messages of support for the party and its leaders.
Leading the procession were the Chairman of the APC in Ughelli North, Obakpororo Onoabeje, and the Deputy President General of the Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU), Chief Christopher Obiuevwewi, popularly known as Ominimini.
They were joined by other top APC stakeholders, including local government officials, ward coordinators, and community mobilizers.

Speaking during the event, Onoabeje said the march was a demonstration of grassroots confidence in the leadership of President Tinubu and the enduring influence of Sen. Omo-Agege in Delta State politics.
“This is not just a show of numbers; it is a statement of loyalty and readiness to strengthen our party from the ground up.
“The people have not forgotten the contributions of Senator Omo-Agege and they continue to believe in his vision for a better Delta,” he said.
Chief Ominimini also commended the crowd for their peaceful conduct, noting that the Urhobo nation and other ethnic groups in Delta remain united behind the APC.
He called on the federal government to increase infrastructural investments in Delta communities as a reward for their continued support.
Participants in the march described Sen. Omo-Agege as a bridge-builder and tireless advocate for the development of Delta State, praising his efforts in attracting federal projects and empowering the youth.
The rally is seen by many political observers as a strategic move to consolidate the APC’s grassroots presence in Delta State ahead of future elections.
