The Delta State chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has condemned Monday’s “One Million Man March” in support of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, describing the rally as unlawful, unruly, and a threat to peace in the state.
Speaking to journalists in Asaba on Tuesday, IPAC Chairman, Henry Eze, said the procession of August 25, 2025, was marred by intimidation, inflammatory remarks, and incitement to violence in clear violation of the Electoral Act and IPAC’s Code of Conduct.
“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,” Eze declared.
He accused Omo-Agege’s supporters of engaging in “primitive displays of desperation and naked hunger for power” that could destabilise the state.
The IPAC chairman also faulted what he described as the “dangerous silence” of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies.
“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 warned.
Calling on President Bola Tinubu, INEC, and security agencies to urgently intervene, Eze stressed that unchecked political lawlessness could lead to a breakdown of law and order.
Reaffirming its commitment to democratic stability, IPAC vowed to resist any attempt to drag Delta into political crisis.
“IPAC’s ideals of peace, harmony, and good governance remain sacrosanct,” Eze said. Any attempt to ignite instability in Delta State will be strongly resisted.”
