The Delta State chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council has condemned the “One Million Man March” organised by supporters of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, describing it as unlawful, unruly, and a threat to peace in the state’s political space.
Addressing journalists in Asaba on Tuesday, IPAC Chairman, Henry Eze, said the rally, held on Monday, August 25, 2025, was marred by threats, intimidation, and inflammatory remarks, which violated the Electoral Act and the IPAC Code of Conduct.
Eze warned that the march, which has generated viral videos of supporters allegedly inciting violence, undermined democratic values and risked destabilising the state.
“The march clearly preached violence. This is unacceptable and goes against everything democracy stands for.
Delta State has a sitting governor, and until the campaign season formally begins, all parties and politicians must respect the peace and stability of our polity,” he said.
He accused Omo-Agege’s supporters of engaging in “primitive displays of desperation and naked hunger for power” that could erode the peace currently being enjoyed in Delta.
Eze also expressed concern over the alleged silence of the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies, warning that inaction could embolden political lawlessness.
“The silence of INEC in the face of these violations is dangerous. Security agencies also looked the other way as political thugs paraded themselves under the guise of supporters. Such recklessness is capable of breaching the peace in Delta,” he cautioned.
IPAC therefore called on President Bola Tinubu, INEC, and security agencies to urgently caution Omo-Agege and his supporters to avert a breakdown of law and order.
Reaffirming its commitment to peace and political harmony, IPAC vowed to remain vigilant as the 2027 elections draw closer, ensuring that all political actors abide by due process and democratic norms.
“IPAC’s ideals of peace, harmony, and good governance remain sacrosanct,” Eze declared, warning that any attempt to ignite political instability in Delta State would be resisted.
