Omo-Agege Dumps APC, Cites Inability To Advance Delta Interests

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he can no longer advance the interests of Delta Central and Delta State within the party.

Omo-Agege announced his decision in a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of APC Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

The former lawmaker said his exit followed a review of recent developments within the Delta APC and consultations with his political associates and supporters.

According to him, his political aspirations and those of his constituents would be better pursued outside the ruling party.

“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.

Omo-Agege, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District in the Senate, thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and wished the party well in its future endeavours.

He also requested that his name be removed from all party membership records, registers and communication platforms.

The senator reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria outside the APC.

The statement announcing the resignation was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
