Omo-Agege
A chieftain of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, in Delta State, Chief James Onosakponome, has urged former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, to defect to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and contest the 2027 Delta State governorship election in a bid to reclaim what he described as the “stolen mandate” of the 2023 governorship poll.
Onosakponome made the call in the wake of Omo-Agege’s defeat in the Delta Central APC senatorial primary by Senator Ede Dafinone, amid mounting speculation over the former Deputy Senate President’s next political move.
He argued that Omo-Agege should no longer feel restrained by the belief that Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has the “first right of refusal” for the APC governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.
