A group, Delta Peoples Mandate, DPM, has commended members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, South South for making the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege leader of the geopolitical zone.
DPM President, James Agbamu and PRO, Carolyn Afun Abena in a statement said his unanimous appointment as the APC political leader of the South-South came about not by his own volition but by virtue of his current national position and no politically inclined person would fault it.
The group noted that appointment of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as the leader of the APC South-South will provide leadership and give direction to the party in the region.
The group pointed out that “two time governor and national Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomole was in attendance at the meeting and did not oppose the selection of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to be his South-South leader, Olorogun Great Ogboru whom the Senator defers to as his political leader was also in attendance and together with other leaders unanimously appointed Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as the leader of the party in the South-South”.
The group averred that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’s appointment as the party leader in the South-South geopolitical zone is a standard practice across political parties in Nigeria and there is absolutely nothing wrong about it.
