Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC, days after losing the Delta Central APC Senate primary election.

Omo-Agege announced his resignation in a letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

In the letter, the former lawmaker said recent developments within the party in Delta State and consultations with his supporters informed his decision to leave the APC, noting that his political objectives would be better pursued outside the party.

He thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and stated that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.
