2027: Oyo guber aspirant, Adegoke, dumps PDP for ADC

A gubernatorial aspirant and prominent Ibadan chief, Chief Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke (FCA), has officially resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Sources confirmed to Tribune Online that the Ibadan-born political bigwig is moving to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to pursue his gubernatorial ambition.

 

In a resignation letter dated March 2, 2026 and addressed to the Ward 10 Chairman of the party in Ibadan South West Local Government Area, Adegoke cited the “intractable political crisis and problems” within the party as the major reason behind his decision to leave.

According to the letter, the internal challenges within the PDP have the potential to truncate the political ambitions of many loyal members, a development he said necessitated his immediate resignation.

Despite his departure, Adegoke, in the letter expressed gratitude to party members in Ward 10 of Ibadan South West Local Government for their support and cooperation during his time in the party.

 

The politician who is also the chairman of Solutions 93.3 fm in Ibadan is the Aare Egbe Omo Balogun of Ibadanland .

His resignation has already sparked speculation across the state’s political circles about his next political move, with many wondering whether the influential Ibadan chief will align with another political platform ahead of future elections.

“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,” the letter reads.

As of the time of filing this report, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State is yet to release an official statement regarding the development.
