‘I Will Not Remain a Sitting Duck’ – Omo-Agege Dumps APC
Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege resigned from the APC, saying he would not remain “a sitting duck” in a party where he could no longer advance Delta State interests.
Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing recent political developments within the party in Delta State.
In a statement issued on May 22, 2026, through his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said consultations with political associates and supporters convinced him that his political future and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the ruling party.
In his resignation letter addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, the former senator stated, “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, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District and served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve in various leadership positions during his time in the party.
He also requested that his name be removed from all APC membership records and communication platforms.
The former lawmaker assured supporters that he would remain committed to the development of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, while continuing his political activities outside the APC.
