Omo-Agege Dumps APC, Says Party No Longer Serves Delta Central Interests

Ovie Omo-Agege resigns from APC, saying party no longer supports his political goals and Delta Central interests.

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, saying recent developments within the party in Delta State no longer align with his political objectives and those of his constituents.

In a press statement dated May 22, 2026, Omo-Agege announced that his resignation from the APC takes immediate effect.

In a letter addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, the former senator said his decision followed consultations with associates and supporters.

According to the statement signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said he concluded that his political aspirations and the interests of Delta Central would be better pursued outside the governing 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 also expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate.

“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 lawmaker stated that his priority remains development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, adding that he would continue pursuing those objectives outside the APC.

Omo-Agege served as Deputy President of the Senate during the 9th National Assembly and remains a prominent political figure in Delta State politics.
