Omo-Agege Dumps APC, Cites Political Differences in Delta

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has announced his resignation from the ruling All Progressives Congress, citing recent developments within the party in Delta State.

In a statement dated May 22, 2026, and signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, the former senator said his resignation takes immediate effect.

Omo-Agege, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District in the 9th Senate, conveyed his decision in a letter addressed to the Chairman of APC Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to him, the decision followed extensive consultations with his political associates and supporters, as well as a review of developments within the party structure in Delta State.

“It is clear that my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the party,” he stated.

The former lawmaker said he could no longer remain in a political environment where he was unable to effectively advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.

“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 expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, while wishing the party well in its future endeavours.

He also disclosed that he had requested the removal of his name from all party membership records, registers, and communication platforms.

Despite leaving the party, the former senator reaffirmed his commitment to development and effective representation, stressing that he would continue pursuing his political and developmental goals outside the APC.
