Ovie Omo-Agege, the former deputy president of the Senate, has refuted a newspaper allegation that he intends to quit the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The 2023 Delta APC governorship candidate, in a statement from his media adviser Sunny Areh, claimed that the piece was the result of accusatory journalism and included no truth at all.

He said: “Our attention has been drawn to a the weird publication, which alleged that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Deputy President of the Senate in the 9th Session, is scheming to abandon the All Progressives Congress (APC) to float a phantom new political party. The story is not only shocking but idiotic.

“Having led the APC to its best ever performance in the 2023 general elections in Delta State where the party won two of the three senatorial seats and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege was narrowly cheated from coasting to victory in the Governorship election, associating his name with the political group the former Kaduna State governor is said to be working on is a clear case of fable without any basis whatsoever.

“Even though we are shocked, we are not entirely surprised. The story is the product of a hatchet job orchestrated by political forces whose only path to relevance is to create a wedge between Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 

“In its fake and concocted story, the publication never referred to any time when Senator Omo-Agege could have met with his illusory political group. And while he claimed to have sought and could not get a response from two Presidential spokespersons – Mr. Sunday Dare and Barr. Daniel Bwala – he never reached out to Senator Omo-Agege.

“Let it be known that as the leader of APC in Delta State and having taken it through a record showing in the 2023 general elections, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege remains irrevocably committed, steadfast and primed to the task of completing the job of rescuing the state from the serial failed administrations in 2027.

“Together with other progressive forces, he will steer the state to true prosperity and take her away from the trajectory of missed opportunities, failed policies and incorporated corruption to the path of development as a frontline oil producing state in the Niger-Delta.”

He urged the APC supporters to stick to their party and ignore the hatchet work.

“Already, our dear President’s reform agenda for re-tooling Nigeria’s economy to a productive one is bearing fruits and the people are testifying to the renewed hope of all facets of the population. 

“President Tinubu will not be deterred or distracted by reactionary forces determined to keep the people in perpetual penury,” he noted.
