A former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect.
His resignation was contained in a letter dated May 22, 2026 and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2, Ughelli North LGA.
The former lawmaker’s Media Aide, Sunday Areh, disclosed this in a statement he issued in Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Omo-Agege contested the APC senatorial primary election for Delta Central Senatorial District but lost to Senator Ede Dafinone.
The statement quoted him to have said that recent developments within the APC in Delta State “influenced his decision after consultations with political associates and supporters”.
He was further quoted to have claimed that his political goals and those of his constituents would be better pursued outside the ruling party.
Omo-Agege said: “I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta and Nigeria.
“I thank APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate.
“I wish the party well and have requested that my name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists.”
The former Deputy President of the Senate also reaffirmed his commitment to the development and effective representation for Delta Central Senatorial District and Nigeria.
“He stated that he will continue to pursue those objectives outside the APC,” Areh added.
