Oyo Guber Aspirant, Adegboyega Adegoke Dumps PDP, Joins ADC
A governorship aspirant and philanthropist in Oyo State, Olooye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing the lingering crisis within the party.
Adegoke announced his resignation in a letter dated March 2, 2026, addressed to the PDP Ward 10 Chairman in Ibadan Southwest Local Government Area of Oyo State.
In the letter, the governorship hopeful said the decision became necessary due to what he described as the “intractable political crisis” within the PDP, which he noted could jeopardize the political ambitions of its members.
The letter read in part:
“On the back of the intractable political crisis and problems bedeviling the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which are capable of truncating political ambitions of members, I hereby resign my membership of the Party with immediate effect.”
Adegoke also used the opportunity to express appreciation to members of his ward for their support during his time in the party.
“Kindly extend my sincere appreciation to the other members of Ward 10 of the Ibadan Southwest Local Government,” the letter added.
Following his resignation, Adegoke announced that he has now joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he intends to pursue his governorship ambition ahead of the next electoral cycle.
The defection is expected to add a new dimension to the political landscape in Oyo State as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the next governorship election.
Adegoke, a chartered accountant and businessman, has been active in the state’s political space and has repeatedly expressed interest in contributing to the development of Oyo State through leadership and governance.
