Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege Quits APC After Primary Defeat
Former Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) just days after losing the party’s primary election.
He said the decision followed recent developments within the APC in Delta State and consultations with his political allies and supporters.
Omo-Agege added that his political ambitions and the interests of his constituents would be better served outside the ruling party.
While expressing gratitude to the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate, he stressed that he remains committed to pursuing development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State and the nation.
“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.
“I thank the APC for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate. I wish the party well and have requested that my name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists.”
