Former Deputy President of the Senate Ovie Omo-Agege has resigned from the All Progressives Congress with immediate effect, ending his membership of the ruling party after citing political developments within the APC in Delta State that he said made it impossible for him to advance the interests of his constituents from within the party.
In a statement signed by his Media Adviser Sunday Areh, the former Deputy President of the 9th Senate said his decision followed a review of recent developments within the party in Delta State alongside consultations with political associates and supporters. He communicated the resignation formally in a letter addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area.
“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 said in his statement. He thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve as deputy Senate president during the 9th National Assembly and said he wished the party well, requesting that his name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists.
He reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing development and effective representation for Delta Central and Delta State, indicating that he would continue his political activities on a different platform.
