The Deputy President of the Senate. Ovie Omo-Agege, has recanted himself on a recent statement credited to him that he wrote the controversial Section 84 (12) of the amended Electoral Act because of the politics of his state, ahead of the 2023 general elections, IgbereTV reports
he Delta senator had come under harsh criticism last week when a viral video emerged where he was heard saying that he single-handedly wrote the contentious section of the bill which states that “no political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.”
However, while speaking at an All Progressives Congress (APC) consultative meeting in Ughelli on Saturday, Omo-Agege recanted the statement, insinuating that what he said was meant to be a joke but was misconstrued and given another meaning by the media.
The senator urged the public to disregard the misinformation that he alone wrote the Electoral Act, noting that people are being misinformed about it
