Omo-Agege Joins NDC For Senate Return, Teams Up With Obi To Oust Tinubu

‎SIX days after resigning from the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to pursue a return to the Senate in the 2027 general elections.

‎In a press statement personally issued on Thursday, the Obarisi of Urhoboland confirmed he would team up with the party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.

‎“Today, I formally announce my decision to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC),” Senator Omo-Agege declared.

‎The former Deputy Senate President said his decision followed “weeks of reflection, wide consultations, and honest conversations with the people I serve”.

He added: “I have consulted with my political associates nationwide, supporters, and stakeholders who are the backbone of our communities.

“Across all these engagements, one truth stood out: Deltans want leadership that listens first, acts with integrity, and delivers results that can be seen and felt in daily life.”

‎Senator Omo-Agege thanked the NDC leadership, including Senator Seriake Dickson, Senator Moses Cleopas, former Governor Peter Obi, and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for what he called their commitment to building a “credible, people-first alternative”.

‎He argued that the NDC “represents that kind of leadership. It is a party built on the principles of inclusion, accountability, grassroots participation, and true federalism.

‎”It is a platform where decisions are not made in closed rooms but through open consultation with stakeholders and members.”

‎The senator was scathing about the current state of Delta State, saying: “Right now, too much of Delta’s wealth sits in CBN accounts while our people suffer from bad roads, collapsed hospitals, and abandoned communities. This is not governance. It is a failure of leadership and a betrayal of public trust.”

‎Vowing to fight for Delta Central, he declared: “I will not go to Abuja to warm the bench. I am going to fight for Delta Central, and as your senator, my focus will remain on delivering representation that matters.”

‎He called on the youth, women, elders and traditional rulers to mobilise, concluding: “In 2027, we will end the era of excuses, empty promises, and leaders who vanish after elections. We will return power to the people of Delta State and to the people of Nigeria.

‎”Together, under the banner of the National Democratic Congress, we will reclaim Delta State. Together, we will reclaim Nigeria. The work starts now. The time is now. The people are ready.”
