TheLEGEND Former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Engr.) Victor Ochei (Esq.), has formally resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying his decision was driven by the need for broader political growth and sustained commitment to public service.
Ochei announced his resignation in a statement issued after what he described as “deep reflection and wide consultations” with political associates, supporters, and stakeholders.
According to him, he joined the APC in 2016 with sincerity and a firm belief in the party’s vision, adding that he dedicated the last decade to strengthening and expanding the party’s influence across Delta State.
“Together with many committed party faithful, we expanded the party’s reach, deepened its structures, mobilised support across communities, and worked tirelessly to give the party relevance and visibility within our political environment,” he stated.
The former Speaker noted that long before many current leaders joined the APC, he had already committed himself to the ideals of leadership, grassroots development, and public service.
Ochei said he was leaving the party proud of the progress made over the years, particularly in the areas of political engagement, youth inclusion, women participation, and democratic development.
He, however, stressed that political institutions and leadership must continue to evolve in line with fairness, inclusiveness, and the aspirations of the people.
“It is in recognition of this need for broader growth and the continuation of my political convictions that I have chosen to chart a new course,” he said.
Ochei maintained that his exit from the APC was not motivated by bitterness or hostility toward any individual or group.
“This decision is not borne out of bitterness, resentment, or hostility toward anyone. Rather, it is inspired by my enduring commitment to service, progress, and the political future I envision for our people,” he added.
He expressed appreciation to supporters, stakeholders, and party faithful who stood by him during his time in the APC, urging them to remain peaceful and committed to democratic ideals.
“As I move forward in my political journey beyond the APC, I do so with hope, renewed determination, and faith in the future,” he stated.
Ochei also prayed for peace, unity, and continued progress in Delta State and Nigeria.
