Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Omo-Agege who was Deputy President of the 9th Senate, said his resignation takes immediate effect.

In a letter dated May 22, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Senator Omo-Agege said the former lawmaker explained that following an assessment of recent happenings within the APC in Delta State, as well as consultations with his allies and supporters, he had concluded that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the party.

He said: “I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.

“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”.

Senator Omo-Agege affirmed that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, adding that he will seek to pursue these goals outside the party.

It was gathered that his resignation may not be unconnected with the recently conducted APC Delta Central Senatorial District primaries, where he lost to the incumbent, Senator Ede Dafinone.
