Delta APC Dismisses Fake News Of Omo-Agege’s Suspension

Delta State All Progressives Congress, APC has tagged viral reports of the suspension of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as “fake.”

In a statement released by secretary of the Delta APC, Chidi Okonji, he dismissed the reports and clarified the position of the party on the primaries that was being conducted by an unrecognised parallel faction in the state.

“Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is a key member of the All Progressive Congress, APC and he is the authentic nominee of APC for the Delta Central Senatorial District in next year’s election. He won the primary conducted on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018 by the Primary Election Panel of APC led by General Lawrence Onoja from Benue State in a landslide.

This clarification became necessary due to the fake news circulating in the media that the Distinguished Senator who is the only elected member of APC in Delta State has been suspended by the illegal State Working Cimmittee lef by Chief Cyril Ogodo on Wednesday, October 3, 2018.

 This same illegal Delta APC State Working Committee that claim to have suspended Omo-Agege also organized an alternative Delta Central senatorial primary in Ughelli on Tuesday, 2nd, Octobet that returned Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, who is no longer in our party, as the winner of the APC Delta Central Senatorial primary.

Mr. Solomon Igbiaye who acted as the Returning Officer of the alternative primary is a member of APC from Warri North Local Government Area. He was not authorized by the National Working Committee or any organ of our party to perormed such function.

You will recall that Ogodo and five other members of his illegal State Working Committee were expelled from the party last week for anti- party activities and impersonation of party officials. And such have no powers to suspend any member of our party.

Members of the party, supporters of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and the general public should therefore disregard the purported suspension of the Distinguished Senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria and the alleged nomination of Olorogun O’tega Emerhor as the senatorial candidate for Delta Central District.”
