Omo-Agege Alleges Life Threats, Rallies Clergy for Peter Obi and Delta Health Infrastructure Legacy

In an unexpected turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Delta State's political landscape, the candidate of the New Democrats Congress (NDC) for Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has raised an alarm over an alleged threat to his life. The former Deputy President of the 9th Senate made these chilling disclosures during an strategic consultative meeting with the Delta Central Chapter of the Concerned Pastors for Good Governance (CPGG) at the Wetland Hotel in Ughelli.

Addressing the high-powered gathering of Christian leaders, the veteran lawmaker, who holds the national honor of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR), pleaded for intense spiritual intervention and prayers. According to reports, Omo-Agege claimed that his life and the safety of his campaign team had been actively targeted as political tensions escalate ahead of the upcoming polls. He urged the clergy to stand in the gap, not just for his electoral victory, but for physical protection against unnamed adversaries who are allegedly uncomfortable with his formidable political comeback.

While the security agencies are yet to issue an official statement regarding these alleged threats, associates close to the senator's campaign organization hint that formal petitions may be filed soon. The allegations have injected a layer of urgency into the race, drawing reactions from stakeholders who warn against the return of politically motivated hostility to Delta Central.

Refusing to let the security concerns overshadow his developmental scorecard, Omo-Agege leveraged the platform to highlight his past legislative milestones between 2015 and 2023. He maintained that his push to return to the Red Chamber was not built on fresh, untested promises, but on a verifiable track record of infrastructure and institutional development that directly impacts the socio-economic welfare of the region.
