Omo-Agege

Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Ovie Omo-Agege, has emerged the Deputy Senate President.

He defeated the immediate past occupier of the post, Senator Ike Ekweremadu with 68 votes.

Ekweremadu recorded 37 votes.

Omo-Agege was endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ekweremadu came into the contest in a surprise way, having not shown interest in it since the campaign for the post started.

He was nominated for the post by Senator-elect Chukwuka Utazi.

His nomination was made after that of Omo-Agege.
