Omo-Agege Challenges Oborevwori Ahead of 2027 Elections

Ovie Omo-Agege, the former Deputy Senate President, appeared on national television to address comments made by Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who claimed Omo-Agege posed no significant threat to the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections. Omo-Agege introduced President Bola Ahmed Tinubu into the discussion, referencing a 60-40 share formula that reflects the old APC structure, which he alleged was being ignored by Oborevwori's camp.

Omo-Agege's intervention raised questions about the internal struggles within the APC in Delta State, highlighting the usual tensions that arise from political realignments and negotiations among stakeholders. He emphasized his continued popular support, citing victories in the 84 out of 85 wards during the Delta Central senatorial primaries.

Despite this, he faced challenges in clinching the APC nomination, raising concerns about the distribution of party influence and the need for grassroots support in political contests. The political landscape in Delta State is undergoing significant changes, influenced by Oborevwori's moves to consolidate power.
