Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective immediately.
In a statement issued on 22nd May, 2026 by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said the decision followed recent developments within the party in Delta State.
The former lawmaker conveyed his resignation in a letter addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
According to him, consultations with his political associates and supporters made it clear that his political objectives, as well as those of his constituents, would be better pursued outside the APC.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he said.
He appreciated the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, adding that he had requested the removal of his name from all party membership records, registers, and communication lists.
Omo-Agege reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, noting that he would continue to pursue these goals outside the APC.
