BREAKING: ‘I Will Not Remain a Sitting Duck’ — Omo-Agege Resigns From APC

The former Deputy President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, on Wednesday declared that he will not remain a sitting duck in the All Progressive Congress (APC), officially resigning his membership of the party with immediate effect.

BIGPEN NIGERIA (https://bigpenngr.com) reports that Omo-Agege made his resignation public in a formal statement released on Wednesday by his Media Adviser, Sunday Areh.

Omo-Agege, who holds the national honor of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) and is traditional chief Obarisi of Urhoboland, tendered his resignation in a letter addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in the Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to the statement, the decision followed a critical review of recent internal developments within the Delta State chapter of the APC, alongside extensive consultations with his political associates and core supporters.

Omo-Agege made it clear that his political aspirations and the progress of his constituents could no longer be realized under the umbrella of the ruling party.

“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,” Omo-Agege declared in the statement.

Despite his abrupt exit, the veteran politician expressed gratitude to the APC for providing the platform that allowed him to serve as the nation’s Deputy Senate President during the 9th National Assembly.

He wished the party well and confirmed he has already requested the immediate removal of his name from all APC membership registers, records, and communication networks.

Looking ahead, Omo-Agege emphasized that his commitment to delivering development and robust representation for the people of Delta Central, Delta State, and the nation remains unwavering—he simply intends to pursue these goals outside the folds of the APC.

While the statement hints at a calculated political pivot, Omo-Agege has not yet disclosed which political party he plans to join next.
