Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The former Deputy Senate President resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday.
Omo-Agege confirmed his switch to the NDC in a statement on Thursday in Warri, Delta State.
He said the decision to join the NDC was the result of weeks of reflection, extensive consultation and honest conversations with his constituents.
“I have consulted with my political colleagues across the country, supporters and stakeholders who are the backbone of our communities.
“From all of this engagement, one truth stands out, the people of Delta want leadership that listens first, acts with integrity, and produces results that can be seen and felt in everyday life,” he said.

The former MP thanked the NDC leadership for contacting and involving him in this process.
“I must thank Senator Seriake Dickson, Leader and Founder; Senator Moses Cleopas, National Chairman; former Governor Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate; and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and Chieftain of the NDC.
“Their commitment to building a credible, people-first alternative gives me confidence that the NDC is the right platform for Delta and Nigeria,” he added.
Omo-Agege said the NDC is a party built on the principles of inclusion, accountability, grassroots participation and true federalism.
According to him, the party is a forum for decision making which is not carried out in a closed room, but through open consultation with stakeholders and members.
