Former Deputy President of the Senate, , has formally announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a lengthy press statement released on Thursday, May 28, 2026, the former governorship candidate said his decision followed “weeks of reflection, wide consultations, and honest conversations” with political associates, supporters, and stakeholders across the country.
Omo-Agege also declared his intention to contest for the Delta Central Senatorial seat under the platform of the NDC in the 2027 elections.
According to him, the move was inspired by what he described as the urgent need for “leadership that listens first, acts with integrity, and delivers results that can be seen and felt in daily life.”
The former senator thanked key figures in the NDC for engaging him during the process, including , , and .
He described the NDC as “a platform built on inclusion, accountability, grassroots participation, and true federalism,” adding that the party offers “the clearest path to advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.”
Omo-Agege criticized the state of infrastructure and governance in Delta State, lamenting poor roads, struggling healthcare facilities, unemployment, and inadequate educational infrastructure despite what he said were huge federal allocations to the state.
“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,” he stated.
The former Deputy Senate President further vowed to rebuild the NDC structure across Delta State ahead of the 2027 polls, saying the party would strengthen its grassroots mobilization from the ward level upward.
He also promised to pursue aggressive representation for Delta Central if elected to the Senate again, pledging to advocate for federal projects, job creation, improved healthcare, agricultural development, and transparency in public spending.
“I will not go to Abuja to warm the bench. I am going to fight for Delta Central,” he declared.
Calling on youths, women, traditional rulers, and voters across the state to mobilize ahead of 2027, Omo-Agege described the coming election as “a defining moment” for Delta State and Nigeria.
“This is more than an election cycle. It is a choice between continuing with a system that rewards silence and mediocrity, or choosing a new direction built on accountability and service,” he said.
The development is expected to reshape the political landscape in Delta State, especially within Delta Central Senatorial District, where Omo-Agege remains a major political figure.
