Senator from Delta Central
Senatorial District, Ovie Omo-Agege, has rubbished his alleged suspension by
the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Omo-Agege described as senseless
and laughable his suspension over alleged anti-party activities.
In a statement by his aide, Efe
Duku, the lawmaker said the action “appears to be an irredeemable descent to
extreme irresponsibility.”
The statement reads, “It is
senseless, laughable and speaks to what appears to be an irredeemable descent
to extreme irresponsibility.
“A man just woke up and printed
what he called APC ballot materials for himself.
“Our party the APC could never
and indeed did not authorize this act of impunity and obvious criminality.
“Also, without approval, this
same man included the photograph of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege on these his private
ballot materials.
“Not done, he then proceeded to
conduct what he called a senatorial primary election for himself and declared
himself a winner.
“Meanwhile, whilst he was
engrossed in this lawlessness of a so-called senatorial primary election, he
did not know that the National Working Committee, NWC, of the APC had actually
postponed its senatorial primaries nationwide to the next day.
“That is to say, this man’s
voyage of impunity and extreme irresponsibility was just a waste of time,
though a serious offense.
“We are aware that the State
Working Committee, SWC, of the Delta APC viewed these acts as a gross violation
of the party’s constitution and accordingly acted to punish this man by
expelling him.
“Very sadly, this man is our dear
brother, Olorogun Otega Emerhor who had been enjoying singing his own political
death song for some time now.
“Clearly, the SWC acted entirely
on its own. But from nowhere, one strange gang that gleefully calls itself
‘Ogodo faction’ sprang up to declare that it has ‘expelled’ the Most
Distinguished Senator Ovie Omo-Agege from APC.
“Now, tell me if the whole matter
is not laughable? What is the business of Senator Omo-Agege with an adult’s
decision to act below kindergarten level?
“We advise Emerhor to leave our
Senator alone. We are celebrating his today’s overwhelming election victory as
APC’s senatorial candidate in the forthcoming general elections.
“Emerhor should not drag us into
his challenges. We always wish him well and pray he repents from his
ill-thoughts towards Senator Omo-Agege – his brother and senator.”
