The Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has been expelled from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State for alleged anti-party activities and other unnamed offenses.
The Delta APC announced the expulsion in a letter dated March 31, 2023, which was obtained by newsmen on Monday.
Omo-Agege, who was also the governorship candidate of the APC in Delta State, lost to the Governor-elect, a candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Sheriff Oborevwori, in the recently concluded elections.
He was accused of not working hard to garner votes for the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, but for himself.
The expulsion letter was signed by the Chairman, Ulebor Isaac, on behalf of the State Executive Committee of the Delta APC, and Secretary, Inana Michael, and 23 others.
They unanimously resolved and adopted the expulsion of Omo-Agege as a member of the party by the executive committee of the Orogun ward and Ughelli North Local Government chapter.
According to the letter, the expulsion was carried out in accordance with the provision of Article 21.2 (1)(II)(VII) 21.3 and 21.5(g) of the constitution 2022 (as amended).
The letter further stated that Omo-Agege stands expelled as a member of the party with immediate effect for various offenses committed and acts of anti-party activities and gross misconduct that have brought shame and ridicule to the image of the party in the state which affected the party in the just concluded elections.
