Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued through his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh, the former lawmaker said his decision followed consultations with political associates and supporters, as well as recent developments within the APC in Delta State.
Omo-Agege explained that his political aspirations and the interests of Delta Central are better pursued outside the ruling party, stressing that he could no longer remain in a platform where he was unable to effectively advance the interests of his constituents.
“After reviewing recent developments within the APC in Delta State and consulting with my associates and supporters, it is clear that my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the party,” he stated.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he added.
The former Deputy Senate President also disclosed that he had requested the removal of his name from all APC membership records and communication platforms.
Despite his resignation, Omo-Agege expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.
The resignation, which takes immediate effect, was conveyed in a letter addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
