Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with immediate effect.
In a statement issued via his social media pages and signed by his media aide, Sunday Areh, Omo-Agege said the decision followed consultations with his political associates and supporters over recent developments within the APC in Delta State.
He said his political objectives, as well as those of his constituents, would be better pursued outside the ruling party.
According to him, “I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.
“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.”
The former lawmaker added that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria, stressing that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the APC.
