Former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has declared his political focus going forward after losing out on the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries.
He said he was resigning his membership of the party, rather than remaining like a lame duck.
Omo-Agege stated these much in a letter to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
“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.
“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 said.
Senator Omo-Agege said his latest stance followed a dispassionate review of recent developments in the party against his commitment to effective representation of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.
He had decided on his latest action after losing the APC Delta Central Senatorial primary election to incumbent Senator Ede Dafinone.
