Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has revealed why he refused to pursue a third term senatorial ambition.
He said this on Thursday in Abuja while playing host to Old Boys of his alma mater, St. George’s College Obinomba, Delta state.
DSP stated that eight years is enough to make a mark in the National Assembly rather than stay in perpetuity.
Omo-Agege who was the Delta APC governorship candidate in the last general election said his mind was made up not to contest the senatorial seat for a third time and move on with other endeavours.
In his words: “When I came here to the National Assembly, my mind was made up on what I wanted to do. I don’t believe that one stays in power in perpetuity.
“You come, make your contribution and move on. I was determined to ensure that eight years is good enough for me in the National Assembly.
“If I am not able to leave my mark in eight years it means that I was not prepared in the first place.
With 41 record bills in the Ninth Senate, Senator Omo-Agege was first elected into the National Assembly in 2015 and reelected in 2019.
The federal lawmaker said he was upbeat of retrieving his stolen mandate from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to him, St George’s College has given so much to the Old Boys and they owed it a duty to give back.
Earlier, the National President, St Georges College Obinomba Old Boys Association, Engr. Cosmos Nwanwene, said the visit was to thank the DSP for facilitating the execution and completion of various projects in the school.
