Delta Central: I’m Running Under APC – Omo-Agege Declares Senate Bid
Former Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agegez on Wednesday declaration his intention to contest the Delta Central Senatorial District election comes 2027 under the platform of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
In a statement he personally signed, Omo-Agege hinged his new political move on numerous calls by electorate, constituents, professionals, and supporters who have been mounting pressure on him to “return to the Senate to serve our common good and give unflinching support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda”.
According to him, “Across Delta Central — Ughelli North, Ughelli South, Udu, Okpe, Sapele, Uvwie, Ethiope East, and Ethiope West — there is clear consensus that the Urhobo Nation deserves an experienced, smart, resourceful, purpose-driven, compassionate, and courageous voice in the Senate once again.
“After deep reflection on our people’s call, and having sought the face of our Lord Jesus Christ in prayer, I have concluded that service to my people is a divine duty. I therefore humbly yield to their call.
“This decision is not about me. It is about elevating Delta Central to a place of respect, infuence and action. It is about ensuring the 5th largest ethnic nationality in Nigeria plays its divine role with wisdom and strength in shaping our democracy. Our role in lawmaking, budgeting, and policy must be intentionally engaging and resourceful, not cosmetic, dull, or insipid”.
Delta Central will gain more when our party continues to shape and fund national priorities. That is why supporting President Tinubu in 2027 is non-negotiable. Continuity means completing projects, providing stability for investors to create jobs for the Urhobo Nation, and maintaining fiscal discipline so projects are not abandoned.
“I am committed to a united APC in Delta State — one that honours its leaders, rewards loyalty, and wins through performance. I will run a fair campaign and support all APC candidates after the primaries. We must approach 2027 as one family.
“To my brothers and sisters, regardless of political differences, this is a contest of ideas and record, not a battle. I invite everyone to join our quest for a better society today and tomorrow.
“I entered public service for the greater good and your trust. Every road, school, and job we delivered came from your mandate. I am asking for that mandate once more, not for a title, but out of duty. Urhobo must not be sidelined as Nigeria shapes the next 20 years.
“Today, I declare my candidacy for the Senate to represent Delta Central Senatorial District on the platform of the APC. I do so with humility, experience, and a clear plan to secure our voice and our future”.
