Publisher of Ovation Magazine and former presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
News360 Info reports that the media mogul stated that the the once-prominent opposition party is now “a carcass” and has been hijacked by anti-democratic interests.
In his resignation letter, Momodu blamed the PDP’s internal collapse as his reason for leaving.
“My reason is simple and straightforward. Our party has been unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight,” Momodu stated.
The former presidential aspirant added that it was “honourable to abandon the carcass of the party” and instead support a new political movement.
“The majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” he wrote.
Momodu’s exit underscores growing tensions within the PDP, which has recently struggled with internal divisions, leadership disputes, and defections.
He concluded his letter with a note of appreciation to his ward leadership:
“I will forever treasure the kind support you gave me at all times.”
