Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally declared his intention to contest the Delta Central Senatorial District seat in the 2027 general elections under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.

Omo-Agege, who served as Senator from 2015 to 2023 and held the position of Deputy President of the 9th Senate, highlighted his previous achievements in office, including the attraction of federal institutions and infrastructure projects to the region.
According to him, his renewed bid is focused on strengthening legislative impact, attracting more federal presence, and advancing development in key sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and job creation.
He pledged to work closely with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda, while emphasizing the need for continuity in governance and economic reforms.
The former Deputy Senate President also called for unity within the APC in Delta State, stressing the importance of collective effort ahead of the 2027 elections.
