Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, bringing an end to his membership of the ruling party amid growing political developments in Delta State.
Omo-Agege announced his resignation in a statement dated May 22, 2026, saying the decision takes immediate effect. According to the former lawmaker, the move followed consultations with political associates and supporters, as well as a review of recent developments within the APC in Delta State.
In a letter addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, the former Deputy Senate President said his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be better served outside the party.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” Omo-Agege stated.
The senator, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly and served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, expressed gratitude to the APC for the opportunity to serve in one of the country’s highest legislative offices.
“I thank the 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,” he added.
Omo-Agege also reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, noting that he would continue those efforts outside the APC.
The statement was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
