Omo-Agege Did Not Flee Our Meeting – Delta APC

The Delta Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied claims that the deputy president of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege fled from a stakeholders’ meeting of the party recently held in Asaba. The party said that Omo-Agege did not flee the meeting as reported in some social media channels.

Mr Sylvester Imonina, the State APC Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement in Asaba amid continuing reports of infighting between different tendencies in the party ahead of the registration of members exercise.

He said that contrary to the report, the registration has yet to commence in the state, adding that the party only held a stakeholders meeting on Wednesday in Asaba which was peaceful.

Asserting that Omo-Agege did not flee the APC meeting as reported in some media, not GWG, he said:

“The attention of the APC has been drawn to an inglorious news item on social media wherein some unverified and unreliable media outlets churned out falsehood on the outcome of the peaceful stakeholders ’meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 3.

“Ordinarily, the party will not bother to respond to the said falsehood being peddled about an imaginary violence registration exercise but for the sake of some members of the party and the public, hence this reaction.

“First and foremost, there was no registration exercise that took place on the above mentioned date in Delta.

“It is a known fact that the party’s registration and revalidation exercise is yet to commence throughout the country,” he said.

Imonina added:“It should be noted that the meeting that took place on Wednesday was for the leadership and stakeholders to brainstorm on the way forward toward the registration and revalidation exercise.

“The meeting was devoid of any scintilla of acrimony. Video and pictorial evidence abound to show that the meeting was peaceful.

“Leaders and party faithful, irrespective of political leanings had fruitful deliberations and far reaching decisions for the good of the party.

Asserting that Omo-Agege did not flee the APC meeting, he said:

” The outcome of the meeting was a product of old friends who were ready to put aside their political differences for the good of the party in the state.

“it was preposterous, and devilish of some online media outlets to suggest that there was violence which led to DSP Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege and state party chairman, Prophet Jones Erue, others scampering for safety.

“We therefore call on the national leadership of the party, party faithful and members of the public to consign the said news into the dustbin.”
