Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Senate Deputy President Ovie Omo-Agege from the party over alleged anti-party activities and other unnamed offences.
In the expulsion letter dated March 31 and signed by the chairman, Ulebor Isaac, on behalf of the State Executive Committee of the Delta APC and Secretary, Inana Michael, and 23 others, it was unanimously agreed that Omo-Agege should be expelled from the party by the executive committee of the Orogun ward and Ughelli North Local Government chapter.
The letter reads, “The State Executive Committee of all Progressive Congress Delta State in a meeting held on the 31st March, 2023 at the State Secretariat, Asaba, after due deliberation of the Notice of Resolution of Expulsion of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as a member of the party by the executive committee of the Orogun ward and Ughelli North local government chapter dated 20th March 2023.
