Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the deputy Senate president reacted to the move by some top members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus to edge out the national chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole.
Omo-Agege, at the APC's caucus meeting on Thursday, November 28, 2019, in Abuja said that since the office of the national chairman of the party has been zoned to the south-south, Oshiomhole's seat is not negotiable. He pointed out that the decision to remove Oshiomhole will come from the zone and not from anyone outside it.
In a related development, Senator Omo-Agege, was appointed the leader of south-south caucus of the APC. The choice of the deputy Senate president as the leader of the party in the geopolitical zone was taken in the absence of some other key and senior members of the party from the region who were not part of the event.
