The crisis in the Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), worsen as a faction in the party asked President Bola Tinubu to order Omo-Agege to free the State party to breathe freely.
The call was made in an open letter to President Tinubu, signed by the faction’s Secretary, Inana Michael; Delta North chairman ,Tom Onah; Delta South chairman, Nelson Ogharamadike and Delta Central Chairman, Michael Oruaefe.
The letter made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, accused Senator Omo-Agege of campaigning against the presidential ambition of President Tinubu through the recruitment of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
The letter reads: “Your Excellency, you will recall that at a point ahead of the Party National Convention in June, 2022, members especially those of us from Ika South Local Government Area got information that Omo-Agege had plans to issue the Party membership card to Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor and we objected to his plans, we told him that is not morally right for Emefiele to contest and that it will affect your chances in the Party National Convention to secure the Presidential ticket.
“All efforts to make Omo-Agege see reasons with us fell on deaf ears, as he convinced Emefiele and assured him that he will get Felix Morka, the Party National Publicity Secretary whom he planted as a spy to help get Emefiele the Party Presidential ticket.
“Secondly, your Excellency, we want to draw your attention to events that occurred during the Party Convention for the nomination of its Presidential candidate. On the night of the convention, all Delta delegates were instructed by Omo-Agege to vote against Your Excellency who told them you had no chance to win the Party Primary and that only the anointed Candidate shall emerge.
“Everybody was aware of his stance that night, even as our leaders tried to convince him against his position, but as God will have it, you won the election convincingly, but Omo-Agege has not forgiven us for opposing him.
Speaking on the anti activities of the party, the factional group narrated how Omo-agege and his group worked against the president, adding that “Omo-Agege and his group never worked for you.”
“Mr President, let us bring to your attention the events that occurred during the Presidential election of February 25 in Delta, it is important that we draw your attention to the fact that Omo-Agege and his group never worked for you.
“We enclose here in, posters and videos of Omo-Agege and Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential Candidate posing in Delta ahead of the election.
” He told his followers and Deltans generally that your Excellency had no chance in the election, saying they should support and vote for Peter Obi.
” Your Excellency, let us surprise you: you can imagine that in an election held on the same day, the APC won two senatorial seats and could not garnered the required 25 percent votes in the state, this makes it obvious that Omo-Agege asked his followers not to vote for you.
“Your Excellency, by the grace of God, today you are the President of the country, having won the election convincingly. Mr President, if you have any doubt about the forgone, you have the security agencies at your command to investigate the points we have raised.
“We cannot continue this way in Delta, we therefore, call on you to ask Omo-Agege to free the State APC of his stranglehold on its neck so it can breathe freely. Your Excellency, we know the majority of your supporters and followers are not in Omo-Agege’s camp, and that those in his faction did not vote for you.
