The deputy director, Media and Publicity Committee, Delta State APC Campaign Committee, Dr. Tonye Timi has taken a swipe at the expelled Dr. Cairo Ojougboh for his cowardly outbursts and for being on a paid assignment to disrupt the party’s efforts.
According to Dr. Tonye, the Delta State APC Gubernatorial Campaign Committee had watched with disgust the shameful vituperations of Dr. Ojougboh, the expelled and now former member of the APC on Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the party’s gubernatorial candidate.
“Dr. Ojougboh spent nearly an hour on Arise TV pouring invectives on our candidate and principal, Ovie Omo-Agege. We have observed too that he has been traveling the media circuit looking for free board to vilify our candidate in order to demoralize and discourage his teeming APC partisans from supporting his rightful bid to recover his mandate stolen in broad daylight by a brigand PDP in connivance with INEC.
“We understand that Dr. Ojougboh is on a paid assignment to engage in a media tour to demoralize and dispirit the members and operatives of the APC, devitalize the massive public support for Ovie Omo-Agege and undermine his case before the Delta State election petition tribunal. This as has been observed, is a campaign of disruption paid for by disruptors,” the APC campaign spokesman stated.
He revealed that many concerned citizens and voters had called in to express disgust at the many lies and fabrications against Omo-Agege by Dr. Ojougboh.
“We have given assurances that we recognize his contrived disruptions but that we remain focused on the recovery of the mandate given to Ovie Omo-Agege in the governorship election of March 18, 2023 but now stolen by the rascals and brigands of PDP.
“We will not be distracted in the pursuance of this course by Dr. Ojougboh and other mischief makers like him, neither will we allow our candidate to be reduced to the level of drug induced gangster behaviours for which Cairo has gained notoriety in the national arena across two decades.
“We recall vividly Dr. Ojougboh’s rampage and snatching of a ballot box during the PDP national convention at Eagle Square, Abuja in 2001, right in the presence of the president of Nigeria.”
He said the APC would not allow the deputy Senate president of Nigeria, “Obarisi Omo-Agege to condescend to the level of a notorious disruptor and brigand, Dr. Cairo Ojougbo and engage in a humiliating public disorder with him”.
“Dr. Cairo has been expelled from the APC by the executive of his ward and local government area, Ika South, who recognize and understand the danger he poses by his disruptive actions to the growth and success of the party. We have nothing more to say than to wish him well in his future endeavours,” he added.
