Veteran journalist and former presidential aspirant, Chief Dele Momodu, has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Recall that on Wednesday, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar also resigned from the PDP in a letter he personally signed and addressed to the party chairman in Jada 1 Ward, Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State, citing ideological differences.
In a similar move, Momodu submitted his resignation in a letter dated July 17, 2025, addressed to the PDP Ward 4 Chairman in Ihievbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State. He attributed his exit to what he described as the hijacking of the PDP by antidemocratic forces.
The renowned publisher thanked the ward-level leadership for their support over the years but emphasized that the party’s current trajectory compelled him to move on and join the ADC.
Our party has been unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces, both 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), the letter read.
