Osun Rep Wole Oke Resigns From PDP

In the resignation letter, Hon. Oluwole Oke cited “personal reasons and the desire to realign with current political realities” as part of the motivation behind his exit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Though he did not immediately announce a move to any other political party, sources close to the lawmaker suggest consultations are ongoing regarding his next political direction.

Oke, who has served in the National Assembly for six consecutive terms, is one of the most experienced lawmakers from Osun State. His departure marks another high-profile exit from the PDP in recent months, as the party continues to grapple with internal wranglings and defections.

His letter of resignation was formally submitted to the PDP Chairman of Ward 7 in Obokun Local Government Area, the lawmaker’s home base, further signaling a possible grassroots strategy in the works.

Hon. Oluwole Oke’s confirmation of his resignation during a brief phone call on Wednesday has further solidified speculation about a significant shift in Osun State’s political dynamics. By urging his supporters to also exit the PDP and await his next directive, Oke appears to be strategically preparing the ground for a possible defection en masse, likely to a rival party with stronger national influence or regional clout.

His silence on his next move adds a layer of political intrigue, especially given his influence and deep roots in the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency. Many are watching closely to see whether he aligns with the All Progressives Congress (APC), forms an alliance with a third force, or explores a different strategy entirely.
