Omo-Agege: S/South APC Cannot Allow Other Zones Determine Chairman

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has said that it would be foolhardy to allow people from outside the South-South to remove Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking at the South-South caucus meeting, Senator Omo-Agege who has been appointed as the South-South leader of the party rallied the faithful to support Oshiomhole who he said has done well for the party.

Besides the external pressure, Oshiomhole is also tackled by internal dissent within the Edo State chapter of the party with the tendency inclined to Governor Godwin Obaseki masterminding his suspension from the party.

Omo-Agege said:

“It was a difficult contest but we all came together to make history and we won Bayelsa State. I want to also speak on the recent moves by some persons to remove the National Chairman, let me state that the position of the National Chairman is a very key position zoned to the South South.

“It is our position and I have always maintained that it is we who will decide that we don’t want our chairman and not outsiders.

“Without prejudice to the decision taken at NEC setting up a National Reconciliation Committee to be headed by leaders nominated by the President, I want to make it clear that we have our national chairman and we must stand by him. We are pushing for reconciliation but his seat is not negotiable. It will be very, very absurd for us to go to the South West and say we don’t want the Vice President or go to the North West and say we don’t want the President or go to the North East and say we don’t want the Senate President.

“So we must dwell on those things that unites us rather than those things that divides us”.
