Omo-Agege Quits APC, Vows to Pursue Delta’s Interests Elsewhere

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

His decision, announced in a statement dated May 22, 2026, marks a significant political shift in Delta State and beyond.

According to his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege’s resignation followed extensive consultations with his political associates and supporters, as well as a careful review of recent developments within the APC in Delta State.

In his statement, Omo-Agege emphasized that his political aspirations and the interests of Delta Central could no longer be effectively pursued within the APC. He declared that remaining in the party would render him a “sitting duck,” unable to advance the cause of his constituents. He therefore concluded that his objectives, and those of the people he represents, would be better served outside the APC.

Despite his departure, Omo-Agege expressed gratitude to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate. He wished the party well in its future endeavors, while reaffirming his unwavering commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria as a whole.

His resignation letter was formally addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, underscoring the grassroots nature of his political baseCurrent page.

Omo-Agege also requested that his name be removed from all APC membership records, registers, and communication lists, signaling a complete severance from the party. He reiterated that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for his people, goals he intends to pursue outside the APC.

This resignation is poised to reshape the political landscape in Delta State, particularly within Delta Central, where Omo-Agege has long been a prominent figure.

His next political steps remain to be seen, but his departure from the APC highlights ongoing internal tensions within the party at the state level and could have broader implications for its strength ahead of the 2027 elections.
