The All Progressives Congress in the South-South has endorsed the Senator representing Delta Central, Ovie Omo-Agege, as the next Deputy Senate President.

The declaration confirmed a May 10 Punch report which stated that the national leadership of the party had settled for the senator and set machinery in motion for his emergence.

Senator Francis Alimikhena representing Edo North had also declared interest in the office. The APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, is from the same senatorial district.


The APC Vice-Chairman (South-South), Ntufam Hilliard Eta, and the Zonal Secretary, David Okumgba, in a statement made available on Saturday said the choice of Omo-Agege became imperative.

The statement said, “The leadership of the South-South Zone is fully in support of Mr. President (Muhammadu Buhari).

“Our zone has been given the opportunity by our great Party to produce the Deputy Senate President for the Ninth National Assembly and we are thankful.


“It is important to state that our two illustrious sons, Distinguished Senators Francis Alimikhena from Edo State and Ovie Omo-Agege from Delta State had indicated interest to contest the office of the Deputy Senate President.

“Both of them are eminently qualified for that office as both are ranking Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“However, considering the current zoning of political offices in our zone whereby Edo State produced the current National Chairman of our great Party (Adams Oshiomhole), and other considerations, it became imperative that our zone supports the candidature of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for the office of the Deputy Senate President.”


The statement hailed the party for zoning the position to the South-South and commended Oshiomhole for his sound administrative experience in piloting the affairs of the party.

“The Zonal Working Committee acting on behalf of the Zonal Executive Committee, Elders and Leaders of the South-South geopolitical zone of our great Party, the APC wishes to state categorically that we align ourselves with the decision of the national leadership of our great Party in respect of the zoning of the Principal offices of the 9th National Assembly.


“We commend our respected leader, His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR for his sterling leadership of the affairs of our great country and our illustrious son, His Excellency, Comrade Adams.

Isn't that Omo-Agege the 'Mace Runner'?

Nice, he deserves it and is up to the task

I think it is o.k considering that Ekweremadu (South East) has been Deputy SP for donkey years, from David Mark to Saraki era. But isn't the Omo Agege having some election tribunal problems currently?

So so pathetic, they finally endorsed maze snatcher Omo agege. Apc are just full of clueless liars and propagandists in governance .Pdp can't do such a thing.

Idiats!

Shame on you all.

South East hatred towards APC is alarming, playing a politics of bitterness. They should learn how to play politics not just business.
Omo-Agege will do very well, He's fearless, I support Him.

Mace snatcher? Like you have evidence of him snatching the mace with his hands? If you cannot tender any such proves glaring for the world to see, then you're only wallowing in the figments of your imagination. Those who snatched the mace were arrested by the police..

type it on Google , it's all over the social media. You can even watch the video, both the nta, channels, tvc, Ait and oaktv covered the mace snatching attacking. Omo agege should be ashamed of himself by contesting for that second position seat.

Can you provide a pictorial evidence? I just watched it on YouTube, can't see where omo-agege snatched the mace. I saw a bunch of hooligans making away with it though. Which of them is Omo-agege?

You're right though.. I see sense in your point.. the position of majority leader should be zoned to the norh-central then. House of Representatives leader would do for ibos
