Kola Ologbondiyan, a former high‑ranking official of Nigeria’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), announced his departure from the party on Saturday via his social‑media account. In a post titled “NOTIFICATION OF MEMBERSHIP WITHDRAWAL,” the ex‑National Publicity Secretary said he had informed the party chairman of his ward in Kogi State of his decision, citing personal reasons. After reviewing his involvement with the PDP, Ologbondiyan concluded that it was time to exit, and he thanked the party’s leadership for the opportunities to serve both the party and the country.
Ologbondiyan previously served as an aide to David Mark, now chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), during Mark’s tenure as Senate President. His resignation has drawn attention because he has not disclosed which political party he may join next. As a former National Publicity Secretary, Ologbondiyan played a key role in shaping the PDP’s public image and messaging, and his departure could affect the party’s structure and dynamics, especially in Kogi State.
The PDP is one of Nigeria’s major political parties, and the exit of a figure with Ologbondiyan’s experience and journalism background is viewed as a notable development in the nation’s political landscape. Observers and analysts are likely to watch his next move closely, though details of his future plans remain unclear. His departure underscores the ongoing evolution of Nigeria’s political parties and the shifting allegiances of prominent individuals, which can have significant consequences for both the parties and the country as a whole.
