Ovie Omo-Agege, the deputy president of the Senate, has been expelled from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State due to alleged anti-party activities and other unspecified offenses.
Omo-Agage was expelled by the Delta APC, according to a letter dated March 31, 2023 that newsmen were able to obtain on Monday.
Recall that Sheriff Oborevwori, a candidate for the People’s Democratic Party, defeated Omo-Agege, the APC’s candidate for governor of Delta State.
The returned Governor-elect of the PDP, Oborevwori, received 360,234 votes, lagging Omo-Agege by 120,005 votes, who received 240,229 votes.
In the letter of expulsion from the State Executive Committee of Nigeria that was signed by the Chairman, Ulebor Isaac,
The executive committee of the Orogun ward and Ughelli North Local Government chapter of the Delta APC, along with Secretary Inana Michael and 23 other party members, unanimously resolved and adopted the expulsion of Omo-Agege as a party member.
The notice of resolution of expulsion of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as a member of the party by the executive committee of the Orogun ward and Ughelli North local government chapter dated March 20, 2023, was carefully considered by the state executive committee of the All Progressive Congress Delta State in a meeting held on March 31, 2023 at the State Secretariat in Asaba.
“And we unanimously resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 21.2 (1)(II)(VII), 21.3, and 21.5(g) of the Constitution of 2022 (as amended)
and approved the party’s decision to expel Senator Ovie Omo Agege.
The letter continues, “Therefore, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege hereby stands expelled as a member of the party with immediate effect for various offences committed and acts of anti-party activities and gross misconduct that have embarrassed and disgraced the party’s reputation in the state and adversely affected the party in the recently held elections.”
Another charge leveled against the troubled Deputy Senate President was that he didn’t work hard enough in the state to win support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the incoming president, but rather for himself.
