Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, who once served as Deputy President of the Senate, has ended his association with the All Progressives Congress (APC). This decision comes just days after he failed to secure the party’s ticket for the Delta Central senatorial district in the recently concluded primaries.
In a resignation letter submitted on May 22, 2026, to the APC chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, the lawmaker stated his immediate withdrawal from the party. He explained that after careful consideration of the party’s situation in Delta State and discussions with supporters, he concluded that his political goals align better outside the APC framework.
Omo-Agege emphasized that he would not remain in a political platform where he cannot effectively champion the interests of his constituents, Delta State, and the nation. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and wished the APC success in its future endeavors. The former deputy Senate president requested his removal from all party registers and communication channels, affirming his commitment to continue working for the development of Delta Central and Nigeria through alternative political avenues.
