Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress, ending his membership of the ruling party with immediate effect.
In a resignation letter addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, the former lawmaker said his decision followed a careful review of recent political developments within the party in Delta State, as well as consultations with his political associates and supporters.
Omo-Agege stated that he had concluded that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be 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,” he said.
The former senator, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District and served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve in government.
“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 added.
Omo-Agege further reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing development and effective representation for the people of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, noting that he would continue to advance those objectives outside the APC.
The statement announcing his resignation was signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.
