Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the Delta All Progressives Congress’s (APC) candidate for governor, has denied claims that he intends to raise the retirement age for teachers if he wins the office. The claim made by the incumbent PDP, according to Omo-Agege, is absurd because he was one of the legislators who helped the Harmonized Retirement Age for Teachers in Nigeria Bill pass and be signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari in April 2022.
In March, he charged that Okowa had “reluctantly approved and domesticated the Act” in order to win the support of Delta teachers. The APC candidate responded yesterday by urging teachers in the state to disregard the rumor and assuring them that he has a better plan for teachers through his EDGE Agenda in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Mr. Sunny Areh. He urged the state’s teachers to turn out in droves on March 18 to vote for him as their next governor, promising that his administration would be supportive of teachers.
“The Harmonised Retirement Age for Teachers in Nigeria Act was passed into law by the National Assembly in January 2021 under Senator Omo-Agege’s watch as Deputy Senate President. To now suggest that the same law Senator Omo-Agege facilitated its passage into law will be rolled back when he becomes Governor after winning the rescheduled March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election is not just stupid and idiotic, but farcical.
“For record purposes, Senator Omo-Agege is part of the leadership of the National Assembly as Deputy Senate President that worked assiduously for the passage of the Harmonised Retirement Age for Teachers in Nigeria Bill into law. This was accomplished by the APC-led Federal Government where Senator Omo-Agege is a ranking leader. We urge Deltans, especially teachers and residents of Delta State to ignore the unfounded rumour by the PDP and vote for Omo-Agege as the next Governor of the State.
