Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - Former Senate Deputy President and Delta State APC governorship candidate in the 2023 general election, Ovie Omo-Agege, has refuted the rumours making the rounds that he was planning to dump the APC.
Ovie Omo-Agege, in a statement on Tuesday by his media adviser, Sunny
Areh, described the report as baseless, calling it a product of speculative
journalism without any truth.
“In the weird publication, it was alleged that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege,
Deputy President of the Senate in the 9th Session, is scheming to abandon the
All Progressives Congress, APC, to team up with Mallam Nasir el-Rufai to float
a phantom new political party. The story is not only shocking but idiotic.
“Having led the APC to its best ever performance in the 2023 general
elections in Delta State where the party won two of the three senatorial seats
and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege was narrowly cheated from coasting to victory in the
Governorship election, associating his name with the political group the former
Kaduna State governor is said to be working on is a clear case of fable without
any basis whatsoever.
“The story is the product of a hatchet job orchestrated by political
forces whose only path to relevance is to create a wedge between Senator Ovie
Omo-Agege and President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
According to him, the rumour is a game the perpetrators are already
deploying to blackmail him and sabotage the APC.
He said he remains committed to the task of completing the job of
rescuing the state from the serial failed administrations in 2027.
“Let it be known that as the leader of APC in Delta State and having
taken it through a record showing in the 2023 general elections, I remain
irrevocably committed, steadfast, and primed to the task of completing the job
of rescuing the state from the serial failed administrations in 2027,” he
added.
