The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Ovie Omo-Agege, the senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly.

This was disclosed via a statement from the party in Asaba on Wednesday. According to the statement, the decision to expel the Senator was as a result of  his “unabated involvement in anti-party activities”. The statement also said the expulsion takes effect immediately.

“The latest of such activities relates to the hijack of primaries panel members and materials sent from the National Secretariat to conduct primaries in the state and deploying same to conduct unauthorized parallel primaries.”

“[Others are] the manipulation and tampering of delegates’ lists and the use of thugs to harass and deprive authentic delegates from access to primaries’ venues, all that in conjunction with Prophet Jones Erue and others who had earlier been expelled from our party.

“The expulsion of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is with immediate effect. The SWC also resolved to petition the security services, including the Police and DSS to arrest and prosecute Senator Omo-Agege, Prophet Jones Erue and others for impersonation and other actions calculated to breach public peace,” the statement added.
