A prominent figure in Benue State’s political landscape, Godwin Owulo, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Owulo, the immediate past Zonal Chairman of the PDP in Benue South Senatorial District, announced his decision to leave the party in a letter dated October 15, 2025. The letter, addressed to the Chairman of the PDP’s Ukpa-Aniu-Ette Council Ward in Oju Local Government Area, cited personal reasons for his resignation.
In the letter, Owulo formally declared his exit from the PDP, stating, “I, Hon. Chief Sir Godwin Owulo, the Immediate Past Zonal Chairman, People’s Democratic Party, Benue South Senatorial District, this day, the 15th of Oct. 2025, hereby resign my membership of the People’s Democratic Party. The reason is personal. Wishing you well.” Following his resignation, Owulo confirmed that he would be joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking the end of his long-standing association with the PDP in Benue State.
As a key figure in the PDP’s grassroots mobilization efforts in Benue South, Owulo’s departure is significant. His experience and influence in Oju Local Government Area, where he hails from, made him a valuable asset to the party. The move is likely to have implications for the political landscape in Benue State, particularly in the Benue South Senatorial District, where Owulo was a prominent figure.
Owulo’s decision to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) reflects the ongoing shifts in Nigeria’s political landscape. The ADC has been gaining momentum in recent times, and Owulo’s addition is expected to bolster the party’s presence in Benue State. As the political scene continues to evolve, Owulo’s move is likely to be closely watched by political analysts and stakeholders in the region.
The resignation of Godwin Owulo from the PDP and his subsequent move to the ADC underscores the dynamic nature of Nigerian politics. As the country navigates its complex political terrain, the decisions of influential figures like Owulo can have far-reaching consequences. With Owulo’s departure from the PDP, attention will now be focused on how his move affects the party’s fortunes in Benue State and the wider implications for the political landscape in Nigeria.
