Nigerian Deputy Senate President, Omo-Agege Is Empty; He’s A ‘Mace Thief’ Not Fit To Govern Our State –Delta GovernmentAt a press conference in Asaba on Thursday, Omo-Agege accused the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa of “swallowing” over N2.8 trillion received in seven years to develop the state.
He said"monies meant for the development of the state are now being channelled to fund the ill-fated ambition of Governor Okowa to become Vice-President of Nigeria in 2023 by every means”. Reacting to the accusations of the state APC governorship candidate, Omo-Agege, through the information commissioner, Charles Aniagwu in a press briefing shortly after Omo-Agege's press conference, the state government described the senator as a"mace rustler".
“What is he promising? I do not want to remind him that we had to apologize to Nigerians on his behalf when he led thugs to harass lawmakers in the Senate and made away with the mace, the symbol of authority of the Senate. “The only time we heard him speak at the National Assembly was when he kicked against the electronic transmission of results; that was the only time he found his voice in the upper chamber because he is looking for ways to come in through the backdoor. If he says otherwise, let him come and tell us which other contribution he made that is remarkable.
