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

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said the decision followed extensive consultations with his political associates and supporters.

The former senator stated that his political ambitions and the interests of Delta Central would be better pursued outside the APC, adding that he could no longer remain in a party where he was unable to effectively represent the interests of his constituents.

According to the statement dated May 22, 2026, the resignation takes immediate effect.

Omo-Agege disclosed that he communicated his decision in a letter addressed to the chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

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

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

Despite leaving the party, Omo-Agege expressed gratitude to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and wished the ruling party well.

He reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, noting that he would continue pursuing those objectives outside the APC.
