Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Age has resigned from the All Progressives Congress with immediate effect.
In a letter dated May 22, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, Omo-Age said he reached the decision after reviewing recent developments in the ruling party and consulting with associates and supporters.
He stated that his political objectives and those of his constituents would be better served 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 wrote.
Omo-Age thanked the party for the opportunity to serve as Deputy President of the 9th Senate and requested that his name be removed from all membership records, registers, and communication lists.
In a statement issued by his media adviser, Sunny Areh, he said his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria, and that he intends to pursue these goals outside the APC.
