Former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC). AGT reports that this marks a significant political development ahead of the 2027 general elections. His resignation was contained in a letter dated on Friday, May 22, addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Vanguard reported.
Omo-Agege said his decision followed a careful review of recent happenings within the ruling party, as well as consultations with his political associates and supporters.
He noted that his current political goals, along with those of his constituents, would be better pursued outside the APC.
Explaining his decision, the former Senate leader stressed that he could no longer remain in a party where he felt unable to advance the interests of his people.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he said.
Omo-Agege also expressed gratitude to the APC for the platform that enabled him serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate.
“I thank the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate. I wish the party well and have requested that my name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists,” he added.
