African Traditional Religion worshippers have vowed to vote in the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
The declaration was made on behalf of the traditionalists by Madam Beatrice Umukoro AKA, Oniemo, an Igbe (Traditional Juju) worshipper in Owhodokpopo, saying that those who practice the faith have been left out of governance for too long.
In a worship session on Friday, Oniemo urged all her faithfuls to vote for the APC candjate, adding that it was their turn to occupy the Government House in Asaba.
Umukoro argued that both Christians and Igbe believers serve the same God as such, they hope to have their shrine in the Government House too.
She said:
“We are all human being. The Christians have been occupying Government House, Asaba since 1999 and it is now our turn to occupy the place.
“They have Church in Government House so we too can build our shrine there.
“Everybody as from now should rub powder especially on the day of election and on the 29th of May, all Igbe Worshippers will be in Asaba for the swearing in.
“It is now our turn. We will do everything to push Omo Agege to Asaba. We did it for him to go to Abuja and we can do it this time.”
However, ber comments did noy appear pleasant to some worshippers who argued that the statement may upset the Christians.
