In a significant political shift, former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has officially joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC), following his departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move is poised to reshape the political landscape in Delta State as Omo-Agege declares his candidacy for the Delta Central senatorial seat in the upcoming 2027 elections.

Omo-Agege's exit from the APC comes amid growing discontent within the party and a desire for new political alliances. His decision is seen as a strategic maneuver to align with the NDC, which has been gaining traction in the region. "I am committed to bringing change and progress to Delta Central, and the NDC offers the platform to achieve that," Omo-Agege stated during his announcement.

As the political climate intensifies ahead of the 2027 elections, Omo-Agege's entry into the NDC could galvanize support among disillusioned APC members and shift voter dynamics. Observers will watch closely to see how this transition affects party strategies and electoral outcomes in Delta State, setting the stage for a competitive race ahead.
