Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing political differences and his desire to pursue his agenda outside the ruling party.
The resignation was contained in a letter dated May 22, 2026, addressed to the APC Ward Chairman in Orogun Ward 2, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
In the letter, Omo-Agege said his decision followed consultations with his political associates and supporters after reviewing developments within the party in Delta State.
He wrote: “After reviewing recent developments in the party in Delta State and consulting with my associates and supporters, it is clear my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the APC.”
The former lawmaker stated that he could no longer remain in a party where he was unable to 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 thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and requested that his name be removed from the party’s membership records and communication platforms.
“I wish the APC well and request that my name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists,” the letter added.
He also declared that his political focus would remain on “delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria,” outside the APC.
