Omo-Agege dumps APC amid internal crisis 

Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy Senate President, has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect.

In a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said his decision followed extensive consultations with political associates and supporters, as well as a review of recent developments within the party.

He stated that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued 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,” he said.

He was defeated by Ifeanyi Okowa, former goernor of Delta State for the senatorial ticket of the party.

Omo-Agege, however, expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, while requesting that his name be removed from all party membership records and communication platforms.

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Sunny Areh, the former lawmaker reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, stressing that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the ruling party.
