The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has approved waivers for former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo Agege, and former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Victor Ochei, to contest the Delta Central and Delta North Senatorial seats, respectively, under the platform of the party in the 2027 general elections.
The development comes barely six days after Omo Agege formally dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the NDC, deepening political realignments ahead of the 2027 polls. In a statement issued on Thursday, the NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, said that the waivers were granted in recognition of their political experience, leadership capacity, and commitment to democratic ideals, good governance, and service to the people.
The NDC leadership expressed confidence that both leaders possess the competence, experience, and grassroots support necessary to deliver quality representation to the people of Delta Central and Delta North Senatorial Districts.
