The Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has reacted to the move by some top members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), caucus to edge out the National Chairmen of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole.
Omo-Agege, at the APC’s caucus meeting on Thursday, November 28, 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.
The Deputy Senate President said: “Without prejudice to the decision taken at NEC setting up a national reconciliation committee to be headed by leaders nominated by the president, I want to make it clear that we have our national chairman and we must stand by him.
“We are pushing for reconciliation but his seat is not negotiable. It will be very, very absurd for us to go to the southwest and say we don’t want the Vice President or go to the northwest and say we don’t want the President or go to the northeast and say we don’t want the Senate President.”
