Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing recent political developments within the party in Delta State.
The resignation, which takes immediate effect, was conveyed 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.
Omo-Agege, who served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, said his decision followed extensive consultations with political associates and supporters across the state.
According to him, prevailing developments within the APC in Delta State made it impossible for him to effectively pursue the political aspirations and interests of his constituents within the party structure.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” the former lawmaker stated.
He expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve in various capacities, particularly as Deputy President of the Senate, while wishing the party well in its future endeavours.
The former senator also disclosed that he had requested the removal of his name from all party membership records, registers, and official communication platforms.
Omo-Agege reaffirmed his commitment to the political and developmental interests of Delta Central and Delta State, stressing that he would continue to pursue those objectives outside the APC.
The development is expected to trigger major political reactions within Delta State, where Omo-Agege remains one of the most influential political figures in the South-South region.
The statement announcing the resignation was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
