Ojougboh Accuses Omo-Agege On His Expulsion From APC

Former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Cairo Ojougboh, has lambasted the Deputy Senate and Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly (NASS), Ovie Omo-Agege over his expulsion from the party.
Describing his expulsion by Omo-Agege as “kangaroo” Ojougboh said “that is Omo-Agege’s way,” adding that the DSP’s escapade is well documented in the National Assembly over what happened to the mace in the Senate.
Ojougboh noted that since Omo-Agege lost his governorship bid, he has been running from pillar to post because of his frustration.
He said that by giving the governorship ticket to Omo-Agege, who is a citizen of America, the party made a serious blunder, adding that such action led to why the APC lost the election in Delta State.
He cited Section 182 (1) (a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to buttress his point.
Ojougboh urged members of the party to ignore the ’emperor of Orogun’, adding that the deputy president of the Senate is confused and frustrated.
The former House of Representatives member further said Omo-Agege’s social media expulsion doesn’t need a reply, but was dead on arrival, and urged his supporters to go about their normal business and ignore the frustration of the defeated governorship candidate.
Ojougboh, who said the intention of Omo-Agege is to cow members of the party in the state and make them his stooge, added that Omo-Agege’s action during the governorship election in Delta State where some electoral officers were held hostage, did not conform with his position in the country.
He noted that the way Omo-Agege managed the party in the state was responsible for APC loss at the governorship election, adding that the deputy president of the Senate was highhanded.
“The issue he has with me is because I speak the truth. At my age I will not be afraid to speak the truth. The tickets for senatorial, House of Representatives and governorship were bought by Omo-Agege and he gave them to whoever he wanted.
“The way he handled the affairs of the party in the state left much to be desired. His attitude is unbecoming of somebody who is holding the position of the deputy president of the Senate.
“It is unfortunate that he is trying to cow all of us. He can’t cow me, I am too big for that.”
Ojougboh drew the attention of Nigerians to the news report by a militant group, Delta Strike Force, demanding the withdrawal of pipeline surveillance contract from Omo-Agege.
The militant group in Delta State under the aegis of Delta Strike Force, had said the pipeline surveillance contract allegedly awarded to Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Nigeria’s deputy Senate president and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State should be withdrawn and given to agitators in the state.
