Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege resigns from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State after losing the party’s senatorial primary for the Delta Central seat. Multiple reports say his resignation follows his defeat at the primary election, in which he did not secure the party’s ticket.
According to Premium Times, Omo-Agege explains that, after reviewing developments within the APC in Delta State and consulting with supporters and associates, he concludes that his political goals and those of his constituents are better served outside the party. The Punch similarly reports that Omo-Agege dumps or resigns from APC immediately after the primary defeat.
The reports focus on his decision to leave the APC and do not provide details on his next political plans or any new party affiliation. They also do not describe any formal reactions from the APC or the outcome of internal party processes beyond his loss in the senatorial primary.
