We had ‘little doubt’ about Lawan, Omo-Agege – Osinbajo
The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday, said the All Progressives Congress had little doubts about Senate President Ahmad Lawan and his deputy, Ovie Omo-Agege, prior to their emergence as leaders of the Senate.The pastor made the comment during a Thanksgiving service for Mr Omo-Agege in Efurrun, Delta State, according to a statement by Mr Omo-Agege’s media aide, Yomi Odunuga.
“Senator Lawan has always proven to be a party person and same as Ovie. A part of Ovie that I do not know very well is his commitment to Christian faith. But hearing him singing some choruses, preach, reading one or two verses of scripture, I am convinced that Ovie has a long way to go in the ministry as well,” he said.
“I believe this is necessary particularly in this time. Politics were done by the time of elections but it now the time for governance. I am happy with our governance and working with Mr. President to ensure that we are able to fix all the challenges we face as a country. We need to continue for Nigeria.”
Mr Lawan further described his deputy as one who is loyal, committed, dedicated, courageous and never shy of taking responsibility.In his homily, Anthony Ozele emphasised the need for love, forgiveness and oneness in political parties and across the country. “Omo-Agege, We do not need Federal Polytechnic in Warri Central, we need Warri port; we need Sapele Port; we need Aladja rolling mill. We do not need a Federal Polytechnic in Delta state, we need a university of food science and technology.
“Distinguished Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, be wise and be courageous. We know courage is not a virtue in which you are lacking; in wisdom be wise. Be mindful of fair weather friends because a leader is only as good as those he surrounds himself with. For the sake of your people, reach out your hands across the political divide; search for common grounds.
