A major political realignment has emerged in Delta State as former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege joins the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said the decision followed weeks of reflection and consultations with political associates and supporters after resigning from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Omo-Agege also announced his intention to contest the Delta Central Senatorial seat in 2027 on the NDC platform.
He described the party as a “people-first alternative” focused on inclusion, accountability, and grassroots participation, and praised its leadership, including former Bayelsa State Governor Henry Seriake Dickson, as well as opposition figures Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
He criticised governance in Delta State, saying poor infrastructure and unemployment persist despite significant revenues.
Omo-Agege represented Delta Central from 2015 to 2023 and served as Deputy Senate President during the Ninth Senate. He was the APC governorship candidate in 2023 but lost to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of the PDP.
His defection comes amid growing political realignments in Delta State ahead of 2027.
