‘It’s Embarrassing To Elect Thug Who Stole Mace As Deputy Senate President’

Former Deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, has fumed at the emergence of Ovie Omo-Agege as his successor.

Ekweremadu, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who represents Enugu West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, said it is “embarrassing” for the Senate to have elected Omo-Agege, who “led” thugs to steal the mace.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, he insisted that his decision to re-contest the seat was not to win or lose, but to make a statement.

Ekweremadu polled 37 votes to Omo-Agege’s 68 votes.

“I believe there must be a referendum,” Ekweremadu said.

Omo-Agege allegedly led thugs to invade the Senate chamber in April 2018 and forcefully removed the mace.

A National Assembly joint ad hoc committee in July 2018, recommended the suspension Omo-Agege for 180 legislative days, over the theft of the Senate mace.

What if you were returned elected, will you reject the post as you did not contest to win? You are just fooling your self. It was a joker by you and your party that thought you will withstand and defeat Omo-agege but God has visited you on the crook way you emerged in 2015. It is your fellow senators that prefered Omo-agege to you and voted you out. If the emergence of Omo-agege embarrass you, then opt out and resign.
