The immediate past Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is in a dilemma over whether to remain with All Progressive Congress (APC) or rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), following his seemingly shaky influence in the APC.
While leaders in PDP are calling him to come back to the PDP, get the ticket on a platter of gold and pursue his governorship ambition in 2027, APC has been threatening him with sanction over his claim as the leader of the party in Delta State.
Delta APC, in a statement dated April 30, 2025, and signed by the publicity secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, said with the entry of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori into APC, he has assumed the position of the party leader in the state.
The statement titled, “Delta APC Reaffirms The Position of His Excellency Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori As Leader Of APC in the State” said the position is not subject to debate or contention.
Delta APC said it is strange, arrogant and reprehensible for any individual to continue to arrogate or to parade himself as the leader of the party in the state in clear opposition to the present reality of the governor as leader of the party.
“Let it be known that such divisive tendencies will be firmly resisted, and anyone who seeks to undermine this position by continuing to parade himself as such will face severe sanctions from the Party” it warned.
But the former commissioner for Higher Education and Agriculture in Delta State, Prof Patrick Muoboghere, has told Omo-Agege to return to PDP and pursue his governorship ambition in 2027.
Muoboghere made the invitation while reacting to the mass defection from the PDP to the APC in Delta, stating that like a lion, Omo-Agege has been caged in his own den.
“He should not allow himself to be humiliated and pushed around in the APC, where his leadership is being undermined.
