Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy Senate President, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a letter to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege stated that after reviewing recent developments within the APC in Delta State and consulting with his associates and supporters, it is clear that his political objectives and those of his constituents were better served outside the party.

“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.

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

Senator Omo-Agege affirmed that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.

He added that he would seek to pursue the goals outside the APC.

This online newspaper reports that Omo-Agege contested the primary election of the APC in Delta Central but lost to incumbent Senator Ede Dafinone.
