Delta APC: Ogboru’s Camp Fights Back Against Omo-Agege

The crisis in the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC continued on Tuesday evening after a faction of the party executive denounced two press statements issued by the Prophet Jones Erue led executive.

The state secretary, Comrade Chidi Okonji and his assistant, Barr. Ese Agiri in a joint statement dismissed the suspension of seven officers of the executive as ordered by the Erue faction as they affirmed that they had not held a meeting of the state executive in the last one year.

The latest crisis in the state chapter has seen Erue and the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege putting up a joint effort against the party’s 2019 governorship ticket, Chief Great Ogboru.

Reacting to the earlier statements that suspended seven members of the state executive, Okonji and Agiri said:

“The attention of APC Delta State has been drawn to two press releases signed by one Barr. Oghenelueme Sylvester Imonina (a self acclaimed APC Delta State Publicity Secretary) titled, ‘Constitution of vacant Senatorial Positions in APC Delta State’ and ‘APC suspends Delta State Deputy Chairman, 7 others for alleged misconduct ‘.

“The APC Delta State hereby declares the two publications above illegal, unconstitutional and null and void ab initio. The Delta State APC has not had any formal State Working Committee (S.W.C.) or State Executive Committee (S.E.C) meeting since March 2019. Therefore, at no time was any meeting called to take these far-reaching decisions.

“The purported constitution of vacant Senatorial positions and suspension of Delta State Deputy Chairman and 7 others is a violation of Articles 20 and 21 of the APC Constitution, particularly Article 21(D)vi which guarantees an officer’s right to fair hearing.

“At no time was any complaint or allegation sent to the Delta State APC Executive Committee in compliance with Article 21(B)i.

“To the above extent, the two (2) publications above are illegal, unconstitutional and failing to follow due process, they are therefore null and void ab initio.”
