Victor Ochei, who once served as Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, has officially stepped down from the All Progressives Congress (APC). His resignation was communicated through a formal letter directed at the party’s leadership.
In his correspondence, Ochei highlighted his extensive dedication to the APC, noting that he had been actively involved in strengthening the party long before many of its current leaders joined. He emphasized his contributions to expanding the party’s influence and mobilizing grassroots support across Delta State.
Ochei clarified that his decision to leave was not driven by animosity or resentment towards any individual. Instead, he described it as a strategic move to pursue a political path that aligns more closely with his vision for the future. He expressed gratitude to his supporters and urged them to remain committed to democratic values.
The former speaker did not specify his next political destination, leaving room for speculation as the 2027 general elections approach. His departure adds to a series of recent exits from the APC in Delta State, signaling potential shifts in the political landscape.
