He described Governor lfeanyi Okowa as a thoroughbred administrator whose achievements in job and wealth creation, roads and infrastructure , peace and security , education and agricultural revolution , among others , have placed Delta on the national map, stating that he intends to take it up from there and make Delta what Lagos is to Nigeria if given the mandate

Olorogun Gbagi who went down memory lane when he was minister of education ,said under his watch , the Federal University of Petroleum Resources (FUPRE), Ughomro , in Uvwie Local government was actualized , while countless federal universities, federal polytechnics, colleges of education, unity schools as well as almajiri schools were built in all the Geo political areas of Nigeria

He therefore assured that he was confident that the Governor Okowa he knows will not hand over to anyone that cannot build on the legacies he is bequeathing to Deltans, assuring that he (Gbagi), is resolute on clinching the PDP gubernatorial ticket for the 2023 elections.
