Omo-Agege said he made his decision after reviewing recent developments within the APC and consulting with his associates and supporters.
“I will not remain a sitting duck in a party where I cannot advance the interests of Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria,” he said, according to a statement on Wednesday by his media adviser, Sunny Areh.
“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,” he added.
Omo-Agege affirmed that his focus remains on delivering development and effective representation for Delta Central, Delta State and Nigeria.
Omo-Agege was defeated in the recent APC primary for Delta Central by the incumbent Senator Ede Dafinone.
According to the results announced by the APC National Assembly Primary Committee, Dafinone polled 116,252 votes while Omo-Agege got 3,643 votes across the eight local government areas in the senatorial district.
