Ovie Omo-Agege defects to NDC

Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy President of the Senate, has formally joined the Ghana — National Democratic Congress (NDC) after resigning from the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC). This move follows controversies surrounding the APC's senatorial primary in Delta Central. Omo-Agege announced his intention to contest the Delta Central Senatorial seat in the 2027 general election under the NDC banner. He cited the NDC's commitment to accountability, grassroots participation, and true federalism as reasons for his defection. Omo-Agege also criticized the current governance in Nigeria — Delta State, highlighting poor infrastructure, unemployment, and inadequate public services despite significant federal allocations. He pledged to champion policies for improved infrastructure, job creation, agriculture, healthcare, and education if elected. He also committed to strengthening the NDC's structure in Nigeria — Delta State and working for the victory of the party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Key NDC figures like Henry Seriake Dickson, Moses Cleopas, and Rabiu Kwankwaso were acknowledged for facilitating his move.
