According to the statement, the former deputy president of the Senate conveyed his decision in a letter addressed to the chairman of Orogun Ward 2, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

“After reviewing recent developments within the APC in Delta State and consulting with my associates and supporters, it is clear that my political objectives and those of my constituents are better served outside the party,” he stated.

“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he added.

Omo-Agege also said he had requested that his name be removed from all party membership records, registers and communication lists.

The former lawmaker reaffirmed that 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.
