CITIZENS COMPASS—The Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has resigned his membership from the leading All Progressives Congress (APC).
Omo-Agege disclosed his resignation in a letter dated May 22, 2026 and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The former lawmaker explained that following an assessment of recent happenings within the APC in Delta State, as well as consultations with his allies and supporters, he had concluded that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the party.
Omo-Agege said his resignation was with immediate effect.
According to him: “I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.
“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”.
Sources said the resignation may not be unconnected with the recently conducted APC Delta Central Senatorial District primaries, where he lost to the incumbent, Senator Ede Dafinone.
