Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy President of the Senate, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on his social media pages and signed by Sunday Areh, his media aide, Omo-Agege said the resignation takes immediate effect.
The former Senate Deputy President said his decision followed consultations with political associates and supporters over developments within the APC in Delta state.
According to him, his political objectives and those of his constituents would be better pursued outside the ruling party.
His words: “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 said his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta state and Nigeria, adding that he would continue to pursue those goals outside the APC.
