‘I will not remain a sitting duck’ – Omo-Agege dumps APC

By Efe Onodjae

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 statement issued on Thursday, May 22, 2026, and signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said consultations with his political associates and supporters convinced him that his political future and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the ruling party.

In his resignation letter addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, the former senator declared: “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, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District and served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, appreciated the APC for the opportunity to serve in various capacities during his time in the party.

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

The former lawmaker assured supporters of his continued commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, promising to remain active in political engagement and representation outside the APC.
