Former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has officially defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Omo-Agege announced his resignation from the APC days after losing the Delta Central Senatorial primary election, describing his move to the NDC as a decision driven by “reflection, consultations and the desire to provide credible leadership.”

In a statement issued yesterday, the former lawmaker said he held extensive consultations with political associates, supporters and stakeholders across the country before taking the decision.

“Today, I formally announce my decision to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC),” he stated. “This decision is the product of weeks of reflection, wide consultations, and honest conversations with the people I serve. Across these engagements, one truth stood out clearly: Deltans want leadership that listens, acts with integrity and delivers visible results.”
