A former high-ranking official of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria, Kola Ologbondiyan, has announced his departure from the party. Ologbondiyan, who served as the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, made the announcement on his social media account on Saturday. In a post titled “NOTIFICATION OF MEMBERSHIP WITHDRAWAL,” he stated that he had informed the party chairman of his ward in Kogi State of his decision to leave, citing personal reasons.
According to Ologbondiyan, he had reviewed his participation in the PDP and decided it was time for him to exit the party. He expressed gratitude to the party’s leadership for the opportunities he had to serve, both the party and the country. The former National Publicity Secretary also previously worked as an aide to David Mark, the current chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), during his tenure as Senate President.
Ologbondiyan’s decision to leave the PDP has sparked interest, as he has not disclosed which political party he plans to join next. His departure from the PDP may have implications for the party’s structure and dynamics, particularly in Kogi State. As a former National Publicity Secretary, Ologbondiyan played a key role in shaping the party’s public image and messaging.
The PDP is one of the major political parties in Nigeria, and Ologbondiyan’s exit may be seen as a significant development in the country’s political landscape. With his experience and background in journalism, Ologbondiyan’s next move is likely to be closely watched by political observers and analysts. For now, the details of his future plans remain unclear, leaving speculation about his potential next steps.
Ologbondiyan’s departure from the PDP highlights the ongoing evolution of Nigeria’s political parties and the movements of key figures within the political sphere. As the country’s political landscape continues to shift, the decisions of prominent individuals like Ologbondiyan can have significant consequences for the parties and the nation as a whole.
