Leave Me Out Of Your Deadly Politics About Oshiomhole – Omo-Agege

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has dissociated himself from disparaging statements being circulated online against some APC chieftains in the South-South geopolitical zone and mischievously credited to him.

The acrimonious comments follows Omo-Agege’s absence at the meeting of South-South leaders in Abuja where a resolution was reached for the national chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to be replaced.

Omo-Agege is believed to be an ally of Oshiomhole’s.

Following the meeting various online quotes have been attributed to Omo-Agege among which was a twitter comment that read thus:

However, Omo-Agege has denied such statements. Specifically, the Deputy President of the Senate attributed the statements to the handiwork of fifth columnists and agents of destabilization masquerading as his supporters.

According to him, such disparaging remarks borne out of sterile imaginings of mischief-makers against stalwarts of the party from the South-South zone or any part of the Federation can never emanate from him.

Senator Omo-Agege who also doubles as APC South-South Leader, noted that some enemies of the region were hell-bent on causing disaffection in the South-South.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Deputy President of the Senate did not make any disparaging remarks against any personality from the South South geopolitical zone.

“For the records, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege would like to be left out of whatever mischievous scheme or deadly politics being played out by some unscrupulous characters in the region for whatever selfish reasons.

“His focus, as he has always stated, is to bring qualitative development to the South-South for the benefits of all the people.

“He would not be distracted by the antics of social media rats who continue to abuse the privilege offered by the social media to publish falsehood against him with the aim of setting him up against other leaders in the region.

“We implore all well-meaning supporters and media houses to always verify sources of statements before circulating such as fifth columnists abound everywhere.”
