Despite Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s reported backing of Senator Ede Dafinone for the Delta Central senatorial seat, former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has delivered a firm and focused statement outlining his priorities as he seeks a return to the Senate.
Omo-Agege declared that he would take to the Senate “the undimmed passion of service to our people and our nation,” signaling a determined approach to representation anchored on commitment and continuity.
He stressed that his “earned experience and invaluable contacts built over the years” remain critical assets, positioning him to engage effectively at the highest levels and deliver results that, according to him, are beyond the reach of his opponents.
On regional representation, Omo-Agege was unequivocal about his objective to advance the Urhobo nation, stating that there is a “great need to place the Urhobo nation on the pedestal it deserves” and restore its visibility at the national stage.
He framed this as a necessary step toward ensuring balanced inclusion within Nigeria’s broader political landscape.
Addressing economic priorities, the former deputy senate president pledged decisive action to attract “federal presence as well as local and foreign investment” into his senatorial district.
