Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation magazine, says he has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a resignation letter submitted to the PDP ward 4 Clchairman in Ihievbe, Owan east LGA, Edo state, on July 17, Momodu said the opposition party has been taken over by anti-democratic elements.
“My reason is clear and direct. Our party has undeniably been seized by antidemocratic elements, both from within and without, in broad daylight,” the letter reads.
“It is therefore honorable to relinquish the remains of the party to them while the majority of us earnestly align with the new coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).”
Momodu, a former presidential aspirant under the PDP, expressed gratitude to the ward-level party leadership for their unwavering support throughout the years.
His defection to the ADC signifies a significant shift in Edo State’s political landscape and contributes momentum to the ongoing realignments preceding the 2027 general elections.
