BREAKING: Ex-Deputy Senate President Omo-Agege dumps APC
Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress, citing irreconcilable political differences and his inability to advance the interests of his constituents within the party.
In a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, the former senator said recent developments within the party forced him to take the decision after consultations with supporters and political associates.
> “I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” Omo-Agege stated.
The former lawmaker expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and requested that his name be removed from all party records and communication platforms.
Omo-Agege noted that his political priority remains the development and effective representation of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, adding that he would continue pursuing those objectives outside the ruling party.
The statement announcing his resignation was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
The development is expected to trigger fresh political realignments in Delta State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
