The South-South caucus of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday, November 28, 2019, chose the deputy senate president, Ovie Omo-Agege, as the leader of the party in the region.
The choice of Omo-Agege as leader of the party in the geopolitical zone was made known by the South South zonal chairman of the party, Hilliard Eta.
He further stated that, “Distinguished Senator Omo-Agege was unanimously chosen as the political leader of the South South Zone by the Caucus.
“The zonal party caucus also passed a vote of implicit confidence on the leadership of the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.
“The zonal caucus working committee shall set up reconciliation committees to complement the work of the national reconciliation committee for Rivers State, Edo State and Cross River State.
Present at the meeting was Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, the south south zonal chairman, Hilliard Eta, among other leaders of the party from the zone.
In April 2018, Senator Omo-Agege invaded the Senate Chambers with thugs and stole the mace. The police reportedly arrested him. But later denied it, claiming the senator was “being escorted” out of the National Assembly Complex.
