Those who know Ovie Omo-Agege can attest to his low intellectual content.
Forget about his good dressing and attempt to make an impression when he is talking, the guy made a Third Class at the University of Benin and a Pass at the Nigerian Law School.
He also could not finish his Master’s degree at the lowly rated Tulane University in America.
Many of us laugh when we hear him pointing fingers at his opponents as not educated.
Even many of the APC bigwigs including Ede Dafinone (senator-elect), Otega Emerhor, Festus Keyamo, Otive Igbuzor all detest and mock him because of his intellectual level.
Even his latter day servants like Efe Duku, who betrayed Ogboru and the pretentious, jobless and financially stranded Aruviere Martin Egharevba, all once mocked and laughed at him for his intellectual level. But they all now work and walk with him because he used brawn and jibiti to get to where he is and they want to be around the corridors of power so they are beholden to him. This is very sad.
Omo-Agege’s recent Pidgin BBC interview points to two things which are: his low intellectual capacity and how he has also infected his handlers with intellectual mediocrity.
The widely circulated interview was a string of goofs and gaffs which an averagely intelligent person will not make.
The content of that interview revealed the real Omo-Agege and it is enough to send him to jail in saner climes.
Omo-Agege in the interview confessed that he was part of a PDP rigging machinery for twelve years. This is enough to earn him handcuffs and a jail term. This surely sends a warning that what he plans to do this Saturday, since he knows he can’t win a fair and credible election, is to deploy his rigging machinery of which he confessed to being a master.
Boastful and loud like an empty drum, Omo-Agege said Deltans know him very well because he has held many offices in Delta State. But can he survive an audit of his theft laden service? He saw service as a call to looting. In two years in government, Omo-Agege built mansions in Orogun, Effurun, Lagos, Abuja and turned his houses into Central Banks as they held more money than most government houses. Is this the service he is referring to? Deltans know him as the most corrupt politician in the state.
Like the kettle calling the pot black, Omo-Agege accused Governor Okowa of betraying the South for running as vice presidential candidate with Atiku. Omo-Agege was also planning to run as vice presidential candidate with Ahmed Lawan, but Lawan lost the presidential ticket. Omo-Agege accused Okowa and Sheriff Oborevwori of taking loans. The same Omo-Agege as Deputy Senate President has approved over 77 trillion in loans for his master, President Buhari.
The truth is that for every finger Omo-Agege points at Okowa, his other four fingers are pointing at him. Omo-Agege called Oborevwori a stooge of Okowa. But has Omo-Agege not been a slave of Buhari and Ahmed Lawan? Did he not mastermind the stealing of the senate mace? Did he not , work against the electronic transmission of result, the BVAS and iREV? Did he not chose to remain silent when Fulanis herdsmen were killing the Urhobo people? A slave is calling someone else a stooge. How laughable?
Omo-Agege accused Oborevwori of supporting “deve” that is extortion of property developers. This is laughable. Omo-Agege is the foremost deve-collector-in-chief of Delta State. It is on record that between 2003 and 2007, Omo-Agege extorted contractors handling projects all over Delta State to the extent that many of them had to run from the State. He is yet to account for money meant for fifty projects in Orogun. He extorted DESOPADEC and the place bled.
Omo-Agege lied when he said that Deltans have a consensus to vote for him. Deltans know him as an ethnic bigot who has no regard for other ethnic nationalities. He even told his friends that, left to him, he would have an Urhobo as his Deputy. Omo-Agege’s hatred for other ethnic nationalities was the reason he has contested every governorship election in the State since 2006. For this reason, Deltans have rejected him. Even the Urhobo people have also rejected him because during his tenure as Senator he represented only Orogun by siting all five federal projects there.
Omo-Agege in the interview kept saying “I, I, I, I,” all through to show his poor understanding of government as a collective. He is a dictator and not a consensus builder. Look at how he destroyed the APC in Delta State. He is a victim of an ego that is a braggart. Deltans must avoid him on the ballot this Saturday. His confessions directly and indirectly make him unfit to be governor of our state.
