Omo-Agege, who previously contested the Delta State governorship under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023, is seen as a formidable force in Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly in the South-South region.
His anticipated move comes amid growing realignments among opposition figures aiming to build a united front to challenge the ruling APC in the 2027 presidential race.
