Ex-Deputy Senate President Omo-Agege dumps APC days after losing primaries

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC, days after losing the Delta Central APC Senate primary.

Omo-Agege announced his resignation in a letter dated May 22, 2026, addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

The letter read: “I hereby resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress, effective immediately.

“After reviewing recent developments in the party in Delta State and consulting with my associates and supporters, it is clear my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the APC. 

“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.

“I thank the party for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate. I wish the APC well and request that my name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists. 

“My focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria. I will pursue these goals outside the APC.”
