Oyo PDP Chieftain Abass Oloko Resigns from Party

Abass Oloko, a significant figure within the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ibadan, has officially resigned from the party, marking the end of a long-standing association. He announced his resignation while speaking to journalists in the United States on Thursday.

Oloko dismissed rumors linking him to the Alliance for a New Nigeria (APM), clarifying that he does not intend to join APM as it does not align with his political ideology. He is regarded as a popular politician in Ibadan and has close ties with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.

Oloko's exit from the PDP is seen as a notable development in the political landscape of Oyo State, potentially influencing future political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections. He has not disclosed his next political destination but indicated that he will return to the United States until he announces his future plans.

Oloko expressed gratitude to those who supported him during his time in the PDP.
