Crack in Delta APC as Omo-Agege Quits Party

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing recent developments within the party in Delta State.

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 wide consultations with his associates and supporters.

The former lawmaker said it had become clear 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 stated.

Omo-Agege, who served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve under the party’s platform.

He also requested that his name be removed from all party membership records and communication platforms.

The former senator reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, noting that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the APC.
