Paul Osuyi, Asaba
THE senator representing Delta Central, Ovie Omo-Agege has said he is unperturbed by Monday’s court judgement which invalidated his nomination of the senatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the February 23 National Assembly election.
Omo-Agege, in a statement by his Senior Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy, Godwin Anaughe, yesterday, insisted he remains the senator-elect for Delta Central.
The Federal High Court in Asaba had, in a judgment, not only nullified the Jones Erue-led state executive committee of the APC but also declared as null, void and of no effect, all actions taken on behalf of the party in the state by Erue and his executive.
But Omo-Agege faulted the court when he said that there was a subsisting consent judgment of the Federal High Court, in Abuja, which validated the Erue executive.
He added that the said consent judgement has neither be appealed nor set aside by any competent court of jurisdiction.
Besides, Omo-Agege said the Asaba Federal High Court did not make a declarative order for his certificate of return to be withdrawn by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and be re-issued.
