Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Omo-Agege announced his resignation in a letter dated May 22, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of APC Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
According to a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, the former senator said the decision followed recent developments within the APC in Delta State, as well as consultations with his political associates, supporters and stakeholders.
Omo-Agege said his political aspirations and the interests 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 said.
The former lawmaker, however, expressed appreciation to the APC for giving him the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate.
“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 said he remains committed to pursuing development, effective representation and the political interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.
His resignation comes amid growing political realignments in Delta State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
