Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second

Seasoned journalist Dele Momodu has officially withdrawn from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing what he referred to as the takeover of the party by undemocratic elements.
In a correspondence dated July 17, 2025, directed to the PDP Ward 4 Chairman in Ihievbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, Momodu stated that his choice to exit the party was made effective immediately.
“My reason is simple and straightforward,” the letter reads. “Our party has been unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight. It is therefore honorable 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).”
Momodu, a previous presidential candidate representing the PDP platform and publisher of Ovation International, conveyed appreciation to the party leadership at the local level for their unwavering support throughout the years.
His transition to the ADC signifies an important alteration in Edo State’s political framework and contributes to the current realignments in anticipation of the 2027 general elections.
Momodu joined the PDP in 2021 and had actively participated in national debates and party activities. His exit follows a wave of resignations by prominent figures disillusioned with internal party dynamics.
