In a surprising political shift, Hon. Wole Oke, a long-standing member of the House of Representatives from Osun State, has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Oke’s defection was announced in a letter read on the floor of the House, citing internal party wrangling and a lack of cohesion as key reasons for his exit.
The lawmaker, who has represented the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency for several terms, has yet to declare his new political allegiance.
However, political watchers suggest he may be aligning with one of the leading opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Wole Oke’s departure is a major blow to the PDP in Osun, where he was considered a strong political figure and grassroots mobilizer.
His exit underscores the continued realignments shaping Nigeria’s political landscape as the next electoral cycle approaches.
