Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, O’tega Emerhor, has declared that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (APC, Delta Central) was at no time the candidate of the party, let alone senator-elect for the ninth National Assembly.

 

Emerhor’s reaction yesterday was coming on the heels of several comments on the ruling that upheld the legitimacy of the Chief Cyril Ogodo-led executive as the authentic one in the state.

 

“The so-called consent judgement they keep building their hope on only dealt with the congress election of wards and council exco and not the primaries of candidates and, in any case, was dealt a deadly blow at the Appeal Court in Benin City and at the Asaba Federal High Court. Omo-Agege knows I’m now the senator-elect,” he said.

 

Emerhor, in a statement obtained by The Guardian, explained that the mainstream of the APC in Delta “produced the Ogodo-led executive and accommodates over 70 per cent of leaders and members of the party alongside over five governorship aspirants in the state. So, Omo-Agege, as a lawyer, cannot boast that the ruling is of no consequence.”
