Former Deputy President of the Senate, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that his political future and the interest of his constituents would be better pursued outside the ruling party.
His resignation was confirmed in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, who said Omo-Agege remained committed to pursuing development and effective representation for his constituents and the country outside the APC.
In a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said his decision followed consultations with associates and supporters, as well as a review of developments within the party in Delta State.
“My focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria. I will pursue these goals outside the APC,” the former senator said.
Omo-Agege, who served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate between 2019 and 2023, said he could no longer remain in a party where he was unable to advance the interests of his people.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he stated.
