A former Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective immediately.
In a statement released on 22 May 2026 and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said his decision followed a review of recent developments within the party in Delta State and consultations with his political associates and supporters.
He explained that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents could no longer be effectively pursued within the party structure of the All Progressives Congress.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he stated.
The former Senate Deputy President expressed gratitude to the APC for the platform provided to him during his tenure, particularly his role in the 9th Senate leadership. He also requested that his name be removed from all party membership records, registers, and communication lists.
Omo-Agege reaffirmed his commitment to continued public service, noting that he remains focused on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, even if outside the APC.
The statement was signed by Sunday Areh, Media Adviser to Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
