A former Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West, Ayo Fadaka, has resigned from the party, citing the ongoing crisis within the organization. Fadaka’s decision to leave the PDP was made public in a letter he personally signed, addressed to the Ward 8 chairman of the party in Akure, and copied to the Akure South Local Government and the Ondo State and South-West chairmen of the PDP.
In the letter, Fadaka expressed his disappointment with the manner in which the party is being run, describing it as being controlled by opportunistic leaders. He stated that the party, which was once a pride of politicians, has been decimated. Fadaka, who served as the Director of Media and Publicity of the party in Ondo State, described his exit as a hard decision.
The former publicity secretary criticized some members of the party, saying they see the PDP as a means to achieve personal gain. He wrote, “The PDP is a victim of ill-bred individuals who unfortunately rose to very lofty heights through it and eventually turned around to stab it mercilessly, characters who are bereft of integrity and depth, yet possess an uncanny ability to shamelessly prosecute an evil agenda to liquidate a party that in its days of glory was regarded as the ‘biggest party in Africa’ from within.”
Fadaka’s resignation has sparked speculation about his next political move, with indications that he is being courted by the ruling All Progressives Congress and the African Democratic Congress. However, his next destination remains unclear. The PDP has been plagued by internal conflicts and power struggles in recent years, leading to the departure of several high-profile members.
The crisis within the PDP has significant implications for the country’s political landscape, as the party has been a major player in Nigerian politics for decades. Fadaka’s resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile exits from the party, highlighting the need for the PDP to address its internal issues and restore stability. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Fadaka’s departure will impact the PDP and the broader political scene in Nigeria.
