Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has formally resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress, bringing an end to his membership in the party.
In a statement released on Wednesday and addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, the former lawmaker said his decision followed what he described as an “exhaustive review” of recent developments within the party in the state.
Omo-Agege stated that after consultations with political associates and supporters, he concluded that his political ambitions and the interests of his constituents would be better pursued outside the APC.
“I shall not remain in a position where I am unable to advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria,” he said.
The former senator, who represented Delta Central Senatorial District and served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve in government and requested that his name be removed from all party records and communication platforms.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Delta Central and the country, noting that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the APC.
