Former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Victor Ochei, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement on Thursday, Ochei said the decision to quit the ruling party was inspired by his enduring commitment to service, progress, and the political future of his people.

He said: “My dear political associates, supporters, friends, and the good people of Delta State, after deep reflections and wide consultations, I have taken the difficult but necessary decision to formally resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and move on to continue my political journey elsewhere.

“In 2016, I joined the All Progressives Congress with sincerity of purpose and a strong belief in the vision and future of the party. Over the last ten years, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to building and strengthening the APC at all levels.
