Senator Ovie Omo-Agege Resigns From APC by ThompsonJoo(op): 5:18pm On May 27

Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has officially resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing recent developments within the party and political differences in Delta State.

In a resignation letter addressed to the APC Chairman of Orogun Ward 2 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Omo-Agege said consultations with his supporters and political associates convinced him that his interests and those of his constituents would be better pursued outside the party.

The former Delta Central senator stated that he would “not remain a sitting duck” in a party where he could no longer advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State, and Nigeria.

His resignation comes days after reports emerged that he lost the APC Delta Central senatorial primary election to incumbent Senator Ede Dafinone ahead of the 2027 elections.

Omo-Agege served as Deputy President of the 9th Senate between 2019 and 2023 and was one of the APC’s most influential figures in Delta State..

Lol. Seunmsg, is Southsouth still in the bag? Where will Tinubu's votes come from? Anyways, we will all learn politics together! At least, Omo-Agege was bold enough to dump the APC. Tinubu should be more afraid of those whom are too scared to decamp but will carry out the mother of all anti-party ever known to man.

You dey whine us?

80 - 90% in South West, Abuja & Rivers, 60% in North Central, 50% in South-South, 40% in Core-North and 30% in South East.

Obi, Atiku, Sowore, etc can share the rest amongst themselves.

The question we should be asking is Who will succeed Tinubu in 2031?

Despite being the incumbent deputy president of the senate and the candidate of APC, what was Omo-Agege's performance at the last election? The Okowa led PDP won the governorship, all senate and all house of reps seats including majority of the state assembly. So, what's Omo-Agege's strength against an APC structure that now has the Okowa group fully integrated?

In case you don't know, APC deliberately discarded him for working against the party during the last presidential election. That is why nothing was given to him. He can go to hell for all I care. He has no relevance.

Are you having a laugh? The Okowa group that failed to deliver Okowa as Vice presidential candidate under PDP? If Deltans had the presence of mind to vote Okowa's candidates and still reject Okowa despite being an incumbent and Vice presidential candidate, how will Tinubu now win Delta state with Omo-agege and Ned Nwoko aggrieved? What will Tinubu promise Deltans that is worth more than a V.P slot? They can still vote APC in the down ballots and reject Tinubu, just like in Lagos. Bottomline, Tinubu will struggle in the South, even in his own Southwestern backyard.

You accuse all and sundry of working against Tinubu simply because they could not carryout the herculean task of delivering a very unpopular Tinubu. You forgot that Tinubu and his Lagos boys failed to deliver himself in Lagos but Lagos still has the highest number of appointees and projects. Being an ingrate is not a virtue. Time is a gentleman.

Life has a way of humiliating the proud, especially when they think they've got it all organized, like that they have the world in their pocket. This reminds me of El Rufai who helped rig Tinubu in. Who would have told El Rufai that he would end up in detention under Tinubu he bought and sold for?
You see why supporting evil for self-interest is bad? Like El Rufai like Omo Agege/ Many more to crash...soon

Add PDP's vote to that of APC in 2023. That should give you an idea. It's not just the Okowa group now, it's the fusion of both structure. As at today, APC is the only existing political party in Delta state. Ned and Omo-Agege are irrelevant noisemakers.

The new decampees from the pdp won’t stand And allow the old takers in apc pilot the affairs of the party. A new sherif is in town and he is the 001 and party leader of the state. He can’t work with who might work against him later. Wisdom they say is profitable to direct.

These guys keep exaggerating Tinubus appeal. They make the mistake of equating Tinubu with Buhari. Tinubus chances in the south look slimmer by the day. Chief Segun Osoba, arguably the closest confidante Tinubu has, lamented openly that the plurality of candidates in the south was a threat to Tinubus emergence. Coupled with that, they just don't how unpopular Tinubu is right now.

APC won the senate seat in his constituency. Sen. Dafione is the imcumbent. He won under APC while Omo Agege was vying for the governorship. The same Sen. Dafione defeated Omo Agege in this year's primaries.

Omo Agege is a big name o. But I will still remember him as the mace thief.

Ooooh. What a wasteful effort. The guy really tried for the apc in delta. I used to see his fine campaign office at Summit area each time. That's what the apc is known for. After using you to achieve their aim, they dump you. He really built the party in Delta.

See as they wooed those law makers from the opposition parties in order to weaken them and later dump them and they followed them to the apc like aguntan grin

. I really like what befell them at the just concluded primaries. Na that kaduna okada rider turn federal law maker pain me pas. He will tell his children's children the story and warn them sternly of the dangers inherent in Greed grin

. If he gets ordinary ward counsellor under the APC he should thank his maker
