The Delta State chapter of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Cyril Abeye Ogodo indicates that the
party has expelled Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the senator representing Delta
Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly and factional senatorial
candidate in the 2019 general election.
Rising from an emergency
meeting of the State Working Committee (SWC ) in Asaba on Wednesday, the party
said its decision to expel Omo Agege from the party followed his “unabated
involvement in anti-party activities”.
A statement titled ‘Delta
APC Expels Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’, signed by the party’s Legal Adviser, Dennis
Nwanokwai Esq, and obtained by SaharaReporters, noted that the senator’s
expulsion is with immediate effect.
“The latest of such
activities relates to the hijack of primaries panel members and materials sent
from the national secretariat to conduct primaries in the state and deploying
same to conduct unauthorised parallel primaries.
Others are the manipulation
and tampering of delegates’ lists and the use of thugs to harass and deprive
authentic delegates from access to primaries venues, all that in conjunction
with Prophet Jones Erue and others who have earlier been expelled from our
party.
The expulsion of Senator
Ovie Omo-Agege is with immediate effect. The SWC also resolved to petition the
security services, including the Police and DSS to arrest and prosecute Senator
Omo-Agege, Prophet Jones Erue and others for impersonation and others actions
calculated to breach public peace” the party stated.
It was
however learned that the Ogboru/Omo-Agege faction of the APC led by Jones Erue
had also slammed the state leader of the party and the 2015 Delta State
governorship candidate of the party, and the party’s senatorial candidate in
the 2019 general elections, O’tega Emerhor, with expulsion over same offence
for which Omo-Agege was thrown out of the party.
