The loss of Omo-Agege is seen as a blow to the APC’s campaign strategy ahead of upcoming elections. Amadi pointed out that the ruling party in Delta State has suffered a significant setback with his exit. Omo-Agege’s previous role as Deputy Senate President gave him access to national political platforms and allowed him to build alliances across party lines. His departure may weaken APC’s hold in the state and provide a boost to opposition forces.
Amadi also warned that Omo-Agege is likely to emerge as a strong opposition force against the APC in future elections. He recalled that before the 2023 general elections, Omo-Agege had cultivated a wide political network that extended beyond his senatorial district. This network, combined with his leadership experience, positions him as a credible challenger in any political contest.
The political shift follows a pattern of high-profile defections and internal party tensions within the APC, particularly in the South-South region. Omo-Agege’s resignation has sparked speculation about potential realignments and the formation of new political coalitions. His decision to leave the party after losing the primary underscores growing discontent among some APC leaders over party structures and nomination processes.
As the 2027 elections approach, Omo-Agege’s move could reshape the political landscape in Delta State and beyond. His influence may inspire other disgruntled members to reconsider their party affiliations, potentially altering the balance of power in key constituencies. The APC now faces the challenge of regaining lost ground and rebuilding trust among its core supporters.
