Delta Ministerial Slot: Omo-Agege’s Group Denies Wicked Plots Against Tinubu

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Delta Central have traced the rumours that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege did not work for the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the presidential primaries and in the final election to what they called the “pit of hell,” amid plots to cause a division between them.

GWG.ng reports that the assertion follows serious schism within the state chapter over the allotment of the ministerial slot and other positions to accrue from the Federal Government.

A group of party officials led by Dr Cairo Ojougboh had recently accused Omo-Agege of working against Tinubu at the party primaries and in the main election citing among others posters showing his campaign posters affixed with pictures of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

However, rebuffing the reports of the alleged plots in a communique following a meeting on Sunday, the Delta Central APC leaders whilst commending the initial steps of President Bola Tinubu also strongly endorsed the leadership of Senator Omo-Agege and the state chairman, Omeni Sobotie.

The communique was signed by Leaders, Chief Godwin Ogbetuo, Chairman; Chief Morrison Olori, Chief Prof. S.W. Ibodje, Chief Tuesday Onoge, Chief Francis Efeduma, Chief Ominimini Obiuwevbi amongst others.

The communique read in part, “We the Delta Central APC Elders, Leaders and Stakeholders hereby pass a vote of implicit confidence on Senator Ovie Omo-Agege CFR for his hard work and commitment to the victory of the party in the State.

“We equally want to put it on record that the Delta Central APC Elders, Leaders and Stakeholders are very impressed with his policy decisions and the leadership quality displayed so far by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and therefore passed a vote of confidence on him on his exemplary leadership since he assumed office as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We also use this medium to congratulate him on his new role as the Chairman of ECOWAS.

“That the false allegations being peddled and perpetrated by some mischievous persons that His Excellency Senator Omo Agege CFR worked against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have no basis at all as they are lies from the pit of hell and we hereby strongly condemned it in clear terms.

“That the Joint Campaign Council set up in Delta State by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and the Party-State Exco conscientiously campaigned for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and worked towards the success of the party in the presidential election. Indeed, the State Campaign Council has tagged the Presidential/Gubernatorial Campaign Council.

“That for the avoidance of any doubt, all delegates who participated in the APC presidential primary election from Delta State voted en masse for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as strictly instructed by Senator Ovie Omo Agege.

“Furthermore, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege generously and single-handedly sponsored a one-million-man march for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in Effurun/Warri, Delta state which took place on the 22nd October 2022 and was coordinated by Chief Obiuwevwi Ominimini.

“It should also be emphasized that all APC candidates including Senator Ede Dafinone representing Delta Central, Senator Joel Onowakpo-Thomas representing Delta South, Hon. Francis Waive and all APC House of Assembly members campaigned vigorously for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the leadership of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege which made it possible for the party to win two out of the three senatorial seats in Delta State.

“We are all witnesses to the joint visits of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Warri Stadium and Gbaramatu kingdom during the flag-off of the Presidential Campaign in Delta State. In fact, without mincing words, the stadium was filled beyond its maximum capacity. This was as a result of the hard work of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.

“It is also on record that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege effectively represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to visit the flood-displaced persons to deliver relief materials in IDP camps across the state where he also campaigned vigorously for him.

“In view of the above, it was strongly concluded that the allegations being perpetrated by disgruntled elements who could not even win their units, and who are sponsored by non-committed APC members and some opposition parties against the personalities of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege in Delta State, is a mere fallacy, untrue and therefore should be discountenanced and trashed.

“It was an attempt to run Senator Ovie Omo-Agege down after committing his integrity, efforts and finances to make sure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu won the election,” the leaders said in denying the alleged plots.
