Former PDP Spokesman Resigns, Defects to ADC
In a significant political development in Ekiti State, a former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formally resigned from the party and declared allegiance to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The defection, which has sent ripples through the state’s political landscape, underscores the growing realignment ahead of the 2026 elections.
The former PDP stalwart, who has played a pivotal role in shaping the party’s media strategies and public communication over the years, cited disenchantment with the internal structure and leadership style of the PDP as one of the reasons behind his decision. He described the party as having derailed from its founding ideals and no longer representing the aspirations of the common people.
In his resignation letter, addressed to the leadership of the PDP in Ekiti, he expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve but made it clear that his political journey now aligns with the vision and grassroots philosophy of the ADC.
He stated during a press briefing that his decision is a strategic move to realign with a party that places people above politics. According to him, the African Democratic Congress offers a renewed platform for progressive engagement and genuine development.
Political watchers believe this move could strengthen the ADC’s base in Ekiti, especially with more aggrieved members of the PDP and APC reportedly considering defections. The ADC has been gaining momentum in the South-West, positioning itself as a viable alternative to the dominant parties.
This defection is expected to trigger a fresh round of strategic calculations within the PDP as the party works to maintain relevance in the state. It also adds to the growing sense that the 2026 electoral cycle may witness unexpected twists and new political alliances.
The former spokesman is set to be unveiled officially by ADC leadership in Ekiti in the coming days, with insiders hinting that he may be assigned a prominent role in the party’s campaign structure.
