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

In a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said his decision followed consultations with associates and supporters as well as a review of recent developments within the ruling party.

According to him, his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the APC.

“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he stated.

Omo-Agege also 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 the party’s membership records and communication platforms.

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Sunny Areh, the former senator said he remains committed to promoting development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.

He added that he would continue to pursue those objectives outside the APC.
