The President General of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU), Olorogun Moses Taiga, has congratulated the Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege on his court victory; saying it is a victory for entire Urhobo nation.

Olorogun Taiga while urging the Nigeria Senate to discontinue its appeal against the victory said, “Senator Omo-Agege’s victory at the High Court was not only a victory for the Senator alone, but the entire Urhobo nation.

Recall that the Senate filed a notice of appeal and a stay of execution on a High Court judgement nullifying the suspension of Senator Omo-Agege at the Abuja division of the Federal High Court.

The Federal High Court in Abuja while nullifying the suspension of the Delta Central Senator by the Senate described the action as unconstitutional, after Omo-Agege instituted a suit challenging his suspension.

According to TheNewsGuru reports Taiga, speaking with newsmen at the weekend, said the Urhobo nation was being denied representation at the red chambers and that there is an urgent need for the leadership of the Senate, especially Senate President Bukola Saraki to see to it that Senator Omo-Agege is immediately recalled to take his rightful place in the upper chambers.

Omo-Agege was suspended for 90 days by the Senate after he accused his colleagues of working against President Muhammadu Buhari by amending the electoral act.

The Senate said the suspension was not because of Omo-Agege’s comments on the election re-oreder but for his move of approaching the court over the matter.

Nullifying the suspension of the Delta Central Senator, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba held that while the National Assembly had the power to discipline its erring members, the premise on which Omo-Agege’s suspension was anchored was illegal.
