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

In a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said his decision followed wide consultations with his associates and supporters.

The former lawmaker stated that it had become clear that his political objectives 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.

Omo-Agege, who served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve under the platform of the party.

“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.

The former senator affirmed that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for the people of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, stressing that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the APC.

The statement was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
