Ovie Omo-Agege, the Deputy Senate President, claims to be the author of the Electoral Act of 2022, which was just enacted by the National Assembly.
The Delta gubernatorial hopeful stated in a viral video acquired by Naija News that he created the electoral act because of local politics in the South-South state.
The congressman, speaking in Pidgin English, urged all APC members in the states not to be scared of politicians who are in control now that the governing party is in power.

According to Omo-Agege, the electoral system has altered since the electoral act was passed, and no one would be able to tamper with election results.
He made these claims while addressing some All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders at a political meeting which took place in Delta.
“No be who first call police dey win case. They (referring to some Delta politicians) dey here (Delta), we dey Abuja. You know what that means.
“As my leader, Dr Mordi said, electoral regime don change and that electoral act wey una dey hear so, na me write am. I write am because I know how Delta politics be,” he said.
Senator Omo-Agege co-sponsored a measure to modify the Electoral Act 2010 with Senator Abubakar Kyari of Borno North in 2019, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
The two legislators proposed a number of changes to the Electoral Act in a bill titled “A bill for an act to modify the Electoral Act (No.6) 2010 and for other connected concerns 2019.”

The bill proposed by Omo-Agege and Kayri gave rise to the revision of the legislation which became the Electoral Act of 2022.
However, there were controversies surrounding the insertion of some clauses by members of the National Assembly during the process of amending the electoral act.
Initially, the bill was rejected by President Muhammadu Buhari over the insertion of the clauses but it was later signed by the president after an amendment.
