Sam Amadi Comments on Omo-Agege’s APC Exit
The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, has characterised the decision of former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a setback for the ruling party.
Omo-Agege explained that his resignation followed recent developments within the APC in Delta State and consultations with his political allies and supporters. He added that his political ambitions and the interests of his constituents would be better served outside the party.
While thanking the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Omo-Agege stressed that he remains committed to driving development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria as a whole.
Speaking on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’ on Thursday, Amadi described Omo-Agege as a formidable politician who would likely secure the nomination of any party he chooses to join.
“I think if Omo-Agege goes to any of the parties, he will definitely win the nomination because he’s a very strong politician,” Amadi said. “This represents a significant loss for the APC. The ruling party in Delta State has suffered a setback.”
He further noted that, having built a strong political network during his tenure as Deputy Senate President before the 2023 elections, Omo-Agege is poised to emerge as a potent opposition force against the APC.
