Veteran journalist and politician, Chief Dele Momodu, has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing what he described as the hijacking of the party by anti-democratic forces.
In a letter dated July 17, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of PDP Ward 4 in Ihievbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, Momodu expressed his disappointment with the current state of the party.
“I wish to inform you of my decision to resign from our political party, PDP, with immediate effect,” the letter read.
He continued, “My reason is simple and straightforward. Our party has been unarguably hijacked by anti-democratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight.”
Describing the PDP as a “carcass,” Momodu said it was only honourable to walk away and align with what he termed a new and promising political movement.
“It is, therefore, honourable to abandon the carcass of the party to them while the majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” he added.
