The Member representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Oluwole Oke, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a letter dated April 16, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of Ward 7 in Obokun Local Government Area, Oke announced his immediate resignation from the party. The letter, which was obtained by our Correspondent in Osogbo, emphasized that his decision followed extensive consultations with his constituents, political associates, family members, and close friends.
Although Hon. Oke did not disclose whether he plans to join another political party, he appealed to the PDP leadership to accept his resignation in good faith.
The letter partly reads: “I wish to formally notify you that I am resigning my Membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. This was concluded after consultation and engagement with my political associates, family, and friends. It is my wish that you accept my resignation in good faith.”
Oke, a seasoned legislator currently serving his fifth term and the Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, had in recent months been embroiled in internal conflicts with the party’s leadership in Osun State. The dispute reportedly contributed to a factional crisis within the PDP structure in the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency.
