Fresh tension is emerging within the All Progressives Congress following the resignation of former Delta State House of Assembly Speaker, Victor Ochei, from the party.
Ochei confirmed his exit in a formal letter submitted to his ward leadership in Onicha Olona, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, stating that his decision takes immediate effect.
In the letter, the former lawmaker explained that his resignation came after careful personal reflection. He also expressed appreciation to the party for the opportunities and relationships he built during his time as a member.
While he did not publicly disclose his next political move, the development has sparked conversations among supporters and political observers, especially as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
Reactions from party members and the public have been mixed, with some praising his decision as strategic, while others speculate about possible shifts in political alliances within the state.
Ochei’s departure adds to the evolving dynamics within Delta State politics, where alignments and defections are expected to shape the lead-up to the next general elections.
