A gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State, Ambassador Olufemi Oguntoyinbo, has resigned from the party.

Oguntoyinbo said he decided to leave PDP because of the prolonged internal crisis rocking the party.

He spoke in a letter addressed to the chairman of the party in the state.

DAILY POST reports that Oguntoyinbo is one of the gubernatorial aspirants on the platform of PDP until his announcement on Thursday.

Oguntoyinbo in the letter said that he has decided to realise his ambition in another political party.

“I am writing to officially notify you of my decision to resign from the membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), effective immediately.

“This decision comes after extensive consultations and careful reflection on my political direction, particularly in relation to the broader state and national vision of unity, progress, and sustainable leadership that I remain deeply committed to pursuing,” the letter said.
