Veteran journalist and publisher, Dele Momodu has resigned from Nigeria’s main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
He made his decision known in a letter addressed to the PDP Ward 4 Chairman in Ihievbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State and dated July 17, 2025.
According to the journalist turned politician, he left the PDP because the party has been hijacked by “antidemocratic elements”.
He added that he has joined like minds in the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“My reason is clear and direct,” the letter stated.
Momodu added, “Our party has undeniably been seized by antidemocratic elements, both from within and without, in broad daylight.
“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).”
The former presidential aspirant went on to express his gratitude to the ward-level party leadership for their unwavering support throughout the years.
Momodu joined the PDP in 2021 and actively engaged in national debates and party affairs.
His departure follows a series of resignations by notable figures disenchanted with internal party dynamics.
