Senator Omo-Agege”ll Continue To Work For Buhari’s Re-election Despite Suspension, Says Aide
Senior Legislative Aide to Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Member representing Delta Central in the Senate, Prince Efe Duku, has called for calm over the suspension of his principal, saying that he (Omo-Agege) will continue to work assiduously for President Muhammadu’s re-election
In a statement released on his Facebook page, he said: “There there is no insurmountable challenge before us,” adding that, “there is adequate capacity to address the now widely reported suspension matter.”
He continued: “As already well-known by many, the issues acted upon today by the Senate are pending before a court of competent jurisdiction and therefore subjudice. It is the Senate’s view that the issues be withdrawn from court for an amicable resolution to hold. Until a resolution is reached, it is better to respect the court processes by not commenting on them.”
Furthermore, he said: “Also, we note that as part of the resolution of the issues, the Senate President, Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki ruled that the Parliamentary Support Group, PSG, (Senate) for President Muhammadu Buhari should be disbanded. This should be a matter for the over 50 members of PSG to decide, possibly with President Buhari on whose behalf they openly work as Distinguished Senators of the Federal Republic.
“In the circumstance, we appeal for calm and assure that as a fervent believer in the rule of law, our Senator is in positive spirit. He deeply respects the institution of the senate and his good friends in the senate. He will never undermine them. He remains an ardent supporter of Mr. President’s agenda for a better nation for all.”
