Ovie Omo-Agege, governorship candidate of the Delta State's All Progressives Congress (APC)

Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy Senate President, has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect.

In a resignation letter dated May 22, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said his decision followed extensive consultations with political associates and supporters, as well as a review of recent developments within the party.

He stated that his political aspirations and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the APC.

“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.
