Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy President of the 9th Senate, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing recent developments within the party in Delta State.
Omo-Agege announced his resignation in a letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of APC Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The former lawmaker said his decision followed extensive consultations with his political associates and supporters, adding that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents could no longer be effectively pursued within the APC.
“After reviewing recent developments within the APC in Delta State and consulting widely with my associates and supporters, it has become clear that my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the party,” he stated.
Omo-Agege, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, declared that he would not remain “a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.”
He expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and requested that his name be removed from all party membership records and communication platforms.
“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 said.
The former senator reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, noting that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the ruling party.
The statement was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
