Senator Omo-Agege
The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has said that Nigerians won’t vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates if those in power fail to deliver.
Omo-Agege warned that the APC must avoid past mistakes of the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to remain in power in 2023.
The senator gave the charge in an address at the APC South-South Town Hall Meeting for Constitution Review in Asaba.
He said, “History beckons on our great party. It is the first-ever opposition party to unseat an incumbent party in the life of our nation, Nigeria.
“Fellow party men, remember that the PDP had confidently said that it would be in power for 60 years. It took the resolve and determination of a strong-willed nation and its people to upstage that confidence.
“Now there is a lesson that we must bear in our subconscious and which should give centrality to our thoughts and deeds.
”Nigeria has shown that it has come of age in terms of political maturity; politicians and political parties must deliver on their mandates and their promises or face removal, just as it happened in 2015.
“Yet, politicians must be given the enablement to perform. This is why we must provide a working manual (Constitution) that is fully integrative not only of the obligation and responsibilities of party men and women but also of their rights and privileges,” Omo-Agege said.
The senator added that the party should be guided at all times by a people-oriented constitution.
“Such that as we work, the APC would be so positioned to provide an irresistible appeal to all persons desirous of inclusive and purposeful political participation,” he said.
The senator, therefore, charged the Constitution Review Committee to consider all areas that had been contentious in the exiting party constitution.
