A former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally joined the National Democratic Congress six days after resigning from the All Progressives Congress.

Omo-Agege disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday and made available to journalists in Warri, Delta State, by his media adviser, Sunday Areh.

The former lawmaker said he would contest for the Delta Central Senatorial seat on the platform of the NDC in the 2027 general elections and support the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

“Today, I formally announce my decision to join the National Democratic Congress. This decision is the product of weeks of reflection, wide consultations, and honest conversations with the people I serve,” he stated.

He said consultations with political associates, supporters, and stakeholders convinced him that Deltans desired leadership focused on integrity, listening to the people, and delivering results.
