Shock in Nigerian Politics as Omo-Agege Quits APC After Primary Loss
A major political shake-up is unfolding in Nigeria’s political landscape as former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege exits the ruling All Progressives Congress following a heated internal battle in Delta State. The development comes just days after a closely contested senatorial primary that reshaped the balance of power within the party’s state structure.
Omo-Agege, once one of the most influential figures in the APC from Delta State, reportedly lost the party’s ticket for the Delta Central senatorial district ahead of the next general elections. That defeat is now being widely seen as the turning point that triggered his resignation from the party he helped build in the region.
In his statement, he pointed to internal consultations and recent developments within the party as key reasons for his decision. But beyond the official explanation, political observers say the resignation reflects deeper tensions within the APC in Delta State, especially after new power alignments shifted influence toward emerging political actors.

The situation highlights the growing friction often seen when political structures are reshaped by defections and leadership realignments. With a sitting governor and competing blocs within the same party, internal consensus has become increasingly difficult to maintain, especially around ticket allocations and future ambitions.
Omo-Agege’s exit now raises serious questions about the APC’s internal cohesion in Delta State ahead of the 2027 elections. It also opens the door to speculation about his next political move, as figures of his stature rarely remain on the sidelines for long in Nigeria’s competitive political environment.
As the situation develops, attention will now turn to whether this marks the beginning of a wider political realignment in Delta State and beyond.
