Omo-Agege Criticizes Delta Governor Over Egbetamah's Removal

Ovie Omo-Agege, the former Deputy President of the Senate, condemned Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for the removal of Hon. Collin Egbetamah from the Delta State House of Assembly, labeling the action as unconstitutional and a violation of the rights of the Udu people. In a statement, Omo-Agege dismissed the governor's demand for an apology, asserting that the removal disenfranchised constituents.

He emphasized that Egbetamah was not given a fair hearing, as guaranteed by Section 36 of the Constitution, and criticized the governor's involvement in the legislative process. Omo-Agege's camp alleged that Egbetamah faced political persecution and was denied salary and project funds for two years due to his loyalty to the APC.

The statement also questioned the legitimacy of the governor's actions and called for accountability regarding the use of federal allocations during his tenure, which amounted to 3 trillion naira. Omo-Agege maintained that his defense of constitutional rights transcends electoral considerations.
