Former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has declared his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday, Omo-Agege alleged that supporters of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori were spreading false narratives about him out of fear of his political influence.
The former lawmaker described himself as a loyal party member, insisting that Oborevwori’s camp was concerned about the impact he could have in the 2027 governorship election.
He noted that he had previously devoted himself fully to supporting President Bola Tinubu while in the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding that he would show the same level of commitment now that he belongs to the NDC.
According to Omo-Agege, “Peter Obi is my presidential candidate for the 2027, I have endorsed him. I’m a political animal and when I was in APC I gave my all but now I’m in NDC, take it to the bank that my loyalty to the party stands.”
He also rejected suggestions that he lost the NDC primary election, maintaining that he emerged victorious.
“If you believe I lost the NDC primary, then I have a plot of land to sell to you, I won the primaries. Sheriff’s e-rat are afraid of me and they are scared of what I will do to them at the elections,” he said.
