Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has denied claims that he instructed Senator Ede Dafinone to vote against Godswill Akpabio in the 2023 Senate presidency election.
In a statement, Omo-Agege said he openly backed Akpabio in line with APC leadership decisions taken at a meeting with President Tinubu.

He stated he shared the party’s position with Dafinone and Senator Joel Onowakpo-Thomas, who both committed to support Akpabio.
Omo-Agege’s camp alleged Dafinone later attended meetings of rival supporters and admitted voting for Abdul’aziz Yari on principle.
The two are now rivals for the Delta Central senatorial seat in 2027, with Omo-Agege having defected to the NDC.
