Valentine Onojeghuo, Publicity Secretary of the Delta State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to claims that former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, worked against President Bola Tinubu, saying there was no atom of truth in the allegation.

Onojeghuo, who made the disproving in a statement available in Abuja on June 20, fingered a former chieftain, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, who was recently expelled from the party as being behind the allegation.

The state APC image maker was reacting to Monday’s petition to the president by the State APC Secretary, Michael Inana; Delta North Chairman, Tom Onah; South Chairman, Nelson Ogharama and Central Chairman, Michael Orunefe.

He said, “The attention of the Delta State APC has been drawn to an utterly disgusted, scornful and most insidious petition addressed to the president by a traitorous and slanderous group led by the expelled and disgraced former member of the party, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, which is diabolically calculated to embarrass and ridicule the person of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. It is important to emphasize that the sponsor of this scandalous petition was recently unceremoniously expelled from the APC for his ignoble acts of anti-party activities and treacherous dealings with opposition parties.

“The APC in Delta State categorically states that the signatories of the obnoxious petition in question are not members of the state executive committee of the party as claimed in their letter. They are known PDP members in Delta State who were recruited by Ojougboh for the purpose of executing his nefarious agenda of cheap blackmail.

“We urge His Excellency to ignore the rantings of Dr. Cairo Ojougboh and his gang of detractors. They are unnecessary distractions to your onerous task of nation-building ahead.”

In Monday’s petition to Tinubu, Inana alleged that Omo-Agege lured suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, into the APC presidential primary to derail the president’s ambition.
