Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is not against having the Card Readers embedded in law.

Omo-Agege made the remark on Saturday while speaking with newsmen in Orogun, Ughelli North Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta.

The senator who represents Delta Central at the National Assembly said lawmakers would addressed the card readers issue in the 9th Assembly.

“The challenge the president had at that time was the ECOWAS Protocol, it came very late.

“You cannot make fundamental change in your electoral law six months to the election, otherwise Mr president was not against the spirit of the letters in that amendment,” he said.

Omo-Agege who just won his returned ticket to the senate alleged electoral malpractices in the Saturday’s Governorship and State House of Assembly elections in Delta.

According to him, there are feelers of ballot box and results sheet snatching in Bomadi, Patani, Warri South-West and some parts Udu LGA.

He, however, expressed hope that relevant authorities would do justice on that.

“It will be difficult to give a comprehensive evaluation of the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections in Delta.

“The information I am getting from other LGAs is not very good. It is all about ballot box and results sheet snatching.

” I do not think that it is good for our democracy.

“I expect the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to do the right thing at the collation level.

“INEC made it clear that Card Readers must be used in every polling units not withstanding that the court says card reader is not part of the law.


“Since INEC insist Card Readers must be used, it will be unfair for some to use it and others not to use it.I am hopeful that Great Ogboru will win and some APC candidates in the state House of Assembly,” he said.

The senator commended security agencies for doing a good job noting that the election was purely a grassroots thing.

Meanwhile, collation of results are still ongoing in most polling units in Warri South and some other parts of the state.(NAN)

If this is what FTC looks like, then I have made it!!!

Tell us another story. We are all aware of what transpired in the north.

APC should trust this noble man with power, he thinks like a Hausa-Yoruba politician. He doesn't like others that we know but not to mention. As for the others, receive your news in Remi Tinubu's voice, we can ........

Omo oshodi

Stories for the gods. It's only the Southerners that keep sounding politically correct in this nation.

If the card reader was fully used, Buhari won't have won.

You eh!

Omo oshodi

Your Highness Sir
The distinguished incoming Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege

Am Yoruba and I like him for the seat

Haters goan die

I don't know why it is hard to move on after the elections. Your candidates' failure shouldn't portend failure for the whole country. What's wrong with being positive minded and pray for the success of those chosen by the electorates?

That's what I would Say if I were again it.

Are you his spokesman, why cant you allow them from the north to speak for him Otota ass licker

The brilliant minds are all relocating out of the country where they feel they have relevance and a chance at a better life. Prepare to take off or u will be stuck with these crazy set of buffoons in naija

You lack dignity Sen Omo Agege. INEC slowed down the whole process of preparing and recommending the passage of the bill to the National Assembly, why? Why did INEC have to wait till the 12th hour to recommend the bill for passage? That action alone made it easy for PMB to veto the electoral bill.

Abeg, this senator should keep quiet, you can't fool all the people all the time.
