Omo-Agege Resigns From APC Over Developments in Delta

Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing recent political developments within the party in Delta State.

In a resignation letter dated May 22 and addressed to the chairman of APC Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Omo-Agege said his resignation takes immediate effect.

The former lawmaker explained that the decision followed extensive consultations with his political associates and supporters regarding the situation within the party in Delta State.

According to him, his political goals and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the APC.

“After reviewing recent developments in the party in Delta State and consulting with my associates and supporters, it is clear my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the APC,” he stated in the letter.

Omo-Agege added that he could not remain in a party where he believes he is unable to effectively advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.

Former Deputy Senate President Thanks APC

Despite his resignation, Omo-Agege expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the Ninth Senate.

“I thank the party for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate,” he said.

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

In a separate statement issued by his media adviser, Sunday Areh, the former deputy senate president said he remains committed to pursuing development and effective representation for Delta Central and Delta State outside the APC.

“My focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria. I will pursue these goals outside the APC,” the statement read.

Omo-Agege’s resignation adds to the growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
