Oyo PDP Stalwart Resigns from Party, Citing Injustice

Published

on

Prince Seun Adelore has dramatically quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), shaking Oyo State’s political landscape.

The former Ibadan North PDP chairman, once Governor Makinde’s close ally, submitted his resignation on July 7, 2025.

His departure follows growing discontent within the party’s ranks.

Adelore didn’t mince words when explaining his exit after years of service.

He accused the PDP of abandoning democratic values while rewarding sycophants over loyal members.

The influential leader chaired all 33 local government party chairmen from 2018-2022 before this stunning exit.

In his explosive resignation letter, Adelore painted a grim picture of PDP’s internal operations.

He described a toxic culture where vindictive leaders crush dissent and operate like corporate raiders.

“What happened to our collective spirit?” his letter lamented, recalling better days under democratic ideals.

The seasoned politician revealed painful truths about political betrayals.

Despite delivering Makinde’s 2019 victory, Adelore claims genuine contributors face systematic marginalization.

He quoted Machiavelli’s warning about despots who eliminate their benefactors – a clear jab at current leadership.

“After extensive consultations, I choose integrity over empty partisanship,” Adelore declared.

His letter detailed how the party punishes loyalty while promoting cronyism.

The resignation exposes deepening cracks in Oyo PDP’s foundation as key allies grow disillusioned.

Adelore issued a chilling warning against potential retaliation.

“Any threat to my life will be met with fierce resistance,” he stated, signaling distrust toward former comrades.

His message emphasized unwavering commitment to authentic democracy, not cosmetic governance.

Political analysts predict ripple effects from this high-profile defection.

As a grassroots mobilizer, Adelore’s exit could trigger more departures before upcoming elections.

The PDP now faces urgent damage control to prevent further erosion of its support base.

Observers note the resignation highlights Nigeria’s broader democratic recession.

When parties prioritize power over principles, even stalwarts like Adelore reach breaking point.

His bold stand challenges other silent dissenters to reconsider their allegiance.

The coming weeks will reveal whether this marks personal protest or sparks wider rebellion.

One thing is certain – in Oyo politics, Adelore’s departure has dropped like a grenade in the PDP’s war room. The countdown begins to see who follows him out the door.
