Victor Ochei’s resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) marks a significant shift in Delta State politics, as the former Speaker of the House of Assembly departs from a party that has faced increasing internal strife. Ochei’s decision, announced on May 28, 2026, reflects growing discontent within the APC, particularly as it struggles to maintain unity and coherence in the face of electoral challenges.
Ochei has been a prominent figure in Delta politics, known for his critical stance on party leadership decisions. His resignation is seen as a response to the APC's failure to meet the aspirations of its members and the electorate. "We need a party that truly represents the people's interests, not just the ambitions of a few," Ochei stated, underscoring his concerns about the direction of the APC.
As Ochei explores new political avenues, his exit could embolden other disillusioned party members to follow suit, potentially reshaping the political landscape in Delta State. The APC must now confront the implications of this departure and seek ways to restore confidence among its ranks ahead of upcoming elections.
