Former Deputy Senate President Omo‑Agege leaves APC after losing primaries.

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo‑Agege, has formally resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) after losing the Delta Central APC Senate primary.

Omo‑Agege submitted a resignation letter dated 22 May 2026 to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

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

He added: “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,” Omo‑Agege wrote.

He thanked the party for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, wished the APC well, and requested that his 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.”
