The last may not have been heard about the crisis rocking Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC).

Leader of the party in the state, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, has said Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, representing Delta Central at the Senate, was not reelected in the 2019 general election as he was not the candidate of the party for the election.

This may not be unconnected with the Federal High Court’s judgment on Monday in Asaba which sacked the Jones Erue-led state APC executive from which faction Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Chief Great Ogboru emerged as candidates of the APC.


Justice Toyin Adegoke, who delivered the judgment, restored the Chief Cyril Ogodo-led faction of the party as the authentic executive of the APC in Delta, declaring that any action taken by the sacked Erue-led faction was a nullity.

Emerhor, in a statement while reacting to the judgment, said he was the only candidate of the APC in Delta Central, adding that Omo-Agege was at no point a candidate of the party.


“Omo-Agege was at no time the candidate of the party nor was he at any time the senator-elect,” Emerhor said.

He added: “I emerged as the Delta Central senatorial candidate against Senator Ovie Omo-Agege who emerged from the Prophet Jones Erue Exco which the court has now declared illegal.

“Legally and physically, you can’t build anything on nothing. Omo-Agege built his candidature on nothing and it has given way and has collapsed.

“But this is beyond just me and Omo-Agege. We, the mainstream, also had a governorship candidate, Prof Pat Utomi, three senatorial candidates, 10 House of Representatives and 29 House of Assembly candidates! This court ruling is for all of them! If, for anything, it will be on record that they were the authentic candidates not anyone else.”

The APC chieftain stated that the mainstream Delta APC, which he leads, produced the Ogodo-led executive and accommodated over 70 percent of leaders and members of the party, alongside over five governorship aspirants in the state.

Emerhor noted that there was no other APC leadership other than the one the court has declared.


“The Ogodo-executive produced by the mainstream has always been the authentic executive. We only had a period when an illegal executive was foisted on the party. What the court did on its Monday ruling was just to restore the legal executive to its proper position.

“This case is testing the rule of law and party due process. APC won a number of positions during the general elections.

“Recall that the Asaba High Court on October 17, 2018, restrained the APC national not to submit any candidates list to INEC, and INEC not to accept any candidates list from the APC before the determination of the case.

“Any list APC went ahead to submit and INEC accepted respectively was in contempt of court order.

“So, legally and in reality, Omo-Agege was at no time the candidate nor was he at any time the senator-elect. Same for the other positions where APC won in Delta State.

“Not until the court ruling on Monday when the court authenticated me and others from the Ogodo executive primaries can anyone legally claim to be the senator-elect or any other position in Delta APC,” he added.

the useless bastard criminal don enter

saraki right now

he'll now realize that the kunu sipping bastard called buhari will not help his cursed soul.

he'll be quite busy with court cases for now and leave legislative duties to sane minds

Omo-Agege the mace-runner man Only a Buhari govt can tolerate this legislative brigandage & insult

APC will use and rubbish you, disgrace you, and disembark you.


Akpabio
Rochas
Shehu Sani
Omo agege

And other impending efulefus to come.

This Omo agege matter una carry for head so. You guys should just forget about him failing cos he is very much loved at home by his people unlike Akpabio and Rochas

He is the chairman of agege market

Which they could get a final judicial ruling once and for all

Great

The Judiciary is the problems of Nigeria.... They failed to lay Judgement on this matter until after election

The people that are saying he's not APC candidate are simply interested in his position.

The Southerners who conspired to undermine the will of majority of southerners are getting their retribution immediately viz Okorocha, Akpabio, Omo-Agege, Ajimobi. Oji Uzor Kalu is next!

you mean the maze thief oh my Lawd! this is music in my ears

So this is why PMB handed over the presidential, senatorial & governortorial flag to only one guy in Warri. Chai! Sense wii not kii me sha!!

You forgot to add Amaechi to your list.

The drama continues.

Hmm what the noise here. Even if omo agege was in pdp, he will still win just as he did with apc in a pdp state shows he is no push over.

IT IS THE SAME CONTROVERSY APC DELTA STATE WILL CARRY INTO 2023 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION AND THEY WILL LOOSE AGAIN.

THERE IS NO UNITY AMONG THE URHOBO.

They seem not to be speaking with one voice.

All this baseless rulings from one small court will not work...a superior court in abuja has already ruled in favour of this agege man last year so no ruling of a caricature court will be recognised.

DMerciful:
The Southerners who conspired to undermine the will of majority of southerners are getting their retribution immediately viz Okorocha, Akpabio, Omo-Agege. Oji Uzor Kalu is next!

What I want to know is why is it that APC are having problems everywhere??

I know that even many of them agree Buhari is not fit to rule Nigeria...but they still forced him on us.

Mark all those who spoke very well of him and applauded him...in some few years time, they will come out to say the truth.

the urhobos used to be a force in delta state but not anymore. The smaller tribes seem wiser, used money to divide the greedy urhobo people and here's the result. I bet that urhobo land will scatter by 2023 because okpe says it is their wing of the urhobo nation that should take power, other urhobos will not agree and in the end delta north will be the determining factor as to who governs from urhobo. U can now see how foolish some people can be. Urhobo despite its huge population will continue to be led by the minority tribes because of greed. Shame

hmmmm

He is not very much liked by his people, because he is a political gate-crasher and political traitor.

I really despise this Agege Bread senator. Very loud, brash, arrogant and completely obnoxious. I hope he meets a dead end and is confined to the trashcan where he belongs. Annoying idiot.

When did Emerhor become a lawyer or judge that interprets a ruling?
This guy is just a sour loser. What then happens to the FHC Abuja judgment that brought in Jones Erue?

Oga ,are you from delta central? Pls keep quiet if u don't know what u are saying

Akpabio was so much loved. Still loved. But sometimes, love is not enough.

You are right,no wonder ogboru lost in urhobo land.but since ibori came from the ethiope axis,it should be zoned to ughelli okpe or sapele axis

Wow,for the first time you are being honest.even in affairs,love isn't enough.
