The Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has revealed how he stopped the 8th Senate led by Bukola Saraki from impeaching President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he does not regret his actions.
Naija News reports that Omo-Agege, who is now the Deputy Senate President, stated this on Thursday during his campaign in Asaba, Delta State.
.

On April 18, 2018, armed thugs stormed the Senate to allegedly reinstate the then-suspended senator, Ovie Omo-Agege. They overpowered the security men and forcibly took away the mace around 11:30 a.m.

The mace is the symbol of authority of the legislature, without which the Senate cannot commence a legislative session.

The invaders, numbering 12, came in three Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), which were parked in front of the National Assembly building that houses the two chambers.

On Thursday, Omo-Agege, the All Progressives Congress Delta State governorship candidate, said he never regretted thwarting the plan of Saraki and others.


He said, “I will never regret my action to shut down the 8th Senate to stop the impeachment of President Buhari.

“Then, I was the de facto chairman of the Electoral Act, and after concluding our report, Saraki and his cohorts decided to change what we passed and sent to the House of Representatives for concurrent consideration just because they wanted to impeach President Buhari.

“So, I protested and stopped them, and the Saraki group said they had suspended me. According to my understanding of the law, they do not have the authority to suspend me.


“Our group called the parliamentary group for support of Buhari in the Senate, then made efforts to stop them, and I showed up unexpectedly and shut down the sitting to stop the impeachment of President Buhari. I’m not regretting the role I played.”

On the governance of the state, Omo-Agege said, “If you make an objective assessment of every village, town, city, and local government area in Delta State, including the riverine areas, you will come to the sad conclusion that the state is lagging behind in every index of socio-economic development and economic prosperity.

“Ifeanyi Okowa’s government alone has swallowed up well over N2.8trn in seven years.

“There is poverty and profound infrastructural dilapidation from Asaba to Warri and environs, Ughelli to Udu, Sapele to Effurun, Koko to Oghara, Agbor to Ukwani, Ndokwa to Abraka, and other areas of the state.”

And that is enough reason to steal the mace?

This is nonsense,

If you're naturally corrupt, greedy and unpatriotic, then speak for yourself....

I only complain because I want this country to work. And if this is the only way to loud my intentions then I will keep doing it.

You only complain about people seeking for a better country and not allow them seek for what they want...You do everything to destroy people working hard to have things turn around.

Do you know the cost of goods and service is increasing everyday? While salary is nothing to write about? Side hustling doesn't work with people who work overtime but receive peanuts...

You thing everyone should just be silence and have the government run this country as they like?

Don't worry, you are becoming an IDP in a few months time.

Y'all are politicians

Well done omo Agege for imposing poverty, insecurity, banditry, Fulani heardsmen, hunger, destruction of the economy etc on Nigerians.
Meanwhile how come wike is commissioning every day, while okowa isn't doing the same thing despite my state delta being a rich state?

How does that negate what he said?

Man should have been impeached in 2016

This one and ameaxhi are one and the same,buffoons and bloated things

Now I know omo Agege is the cause of our problem. You stopped the only chance we had for a better Nigeria.

Saying this wit the pains Nigerians hv gone through, this man hv lost his election

One man called Nigeria a jungle but I honestly believe that Nigeria doesn't qualify that magnified position but rather an evil forest where everything goes.

Imagine the audacity and barefaced challenge that this man is throwing to Nigerians.

So you are expecting National Award for that. I don't blame people like this dude, when they don't have quality people around them to give them a befitting "brain reset". Like senator, like constituents.

Clout chaser. Impeachment dey work for Nigeria?
