Former Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has reaffirmed his intention to return to the Senate in 2027.

He also declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the next political cycle.

Omo-Agege made the declaration on Thursday while addressing party supporters during a grassroots mobilisation event at the Federal Polytechnic, Orogun, in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

He urged his supporters to begin preparations ahead of the APC primaries, saying the process would determine the party’s candidate for the Delta Central Senatorial District.

“Primaries are around the corner. Go back to your various wards, prepare yourselves, and decide who you will cast your votes for,” he said.

The former Senate Deputy President highlighted his achievements during his tenure in the National Assembly, including attracting major federal projects to Delta State.

He listed the establishment of the Federal Polytechnic, Orogun, the Nigerian Defence Space School, and the Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences in Kwale as part of his legislative interventions.

Omo-Agege also pointed to the ongoing Oil and Gas Industrial Park project between Eku and Abraka, describing it as a major economic development initiative that would create jobs and boost power supply in the region.

He said the project, when completed, would generate employment opportunities for youths and improve the electricity supply to surrounding communities.

The former lawmaker said his representation was not limited to Delta Central, adding that he worked to attract development across the entire state.

“When you sent me to Abuja, I ensured Delta Central got its fair share, but I also spread the dividends of democracy across all senatorial districts,” he said.

Omo-Agege expressed confidence in securing support for his 2027 Senate ambition, citing his record in office as a key advantage.

The event was attended by several APC stakeholders, including party chieftains and representatives of development agencies.
