Oluwole Oke, a six-term federal lawmaker from Osun, has resigned from the PDP after consultations with his political allies. His next political move remains unclear.
Highlights:
- Oke, chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts, quits PDP immediately.
- He represents Obokun/Oriade federal constituency in Osun.
- His resignation follows private consultations with associates and family.
- No new party affiliation announced yet — prompting speculation.
- The letter was sent to the PDP ward, state, and national chairmen.
Oke’s exit is a significant blow to the PDP in Osun, where he has been a fixture for over two decades. The lack of a declared next step fuels rumours of a potential shift to the APC or another rising force. His move adds to the perception of instability within the PDP, especially as the party struggles with internal cohesion post-2023. If a high-profile defection follows, this could accelerate realignments across the South-West.
What’s behind Oke’s quiet exit — and could it reshape PDP’s future in Osun? Join the discussion.
