Ex-Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress, in a move that signals a major political shift in Delta State ahead of future elections.
In a statement released on his social media pages and signed by his media aide, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said the resignation takes immediate effect. He attributed his decision to consultations with political allies and supporters following recent developments within the APC in Delta State.
According to him, the current situation within the party no longer aligns with his political objectives or the interests of his constituents, adding that he would pursue his goals outside the ruling party. 
“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.
He also expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, while requesting that his name be removed from all party membership records, registers, and communication lists.
The former lawmaker, who lost his Senate ticket ahead of the next electoral cycle, said his focus remains on delivering effective representation and development for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria. He added that he remains committed to those goals, even outside the APC.
His resignation is expected to further reshape political alignments in Delta State as parties begin early positioning ahead of upcoming elections.
