Dele Momodu Dumps PDP For ADC After Accusing Wike Of Being A Mole

Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation Magazine, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

This comes after Dele Momodu criticized the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of being a PDP mole, alleging that he secretly worked with the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2023 presidential election.

His resignation was contained in a letter dated July 17, 2025, which he addressed to the PDP chairman in Ward 4 of Ihievbe, in Owan East LGA of Edo State.

In the letter, Momodu explained that he was leaving the party because it had fallen into the hands of people he described as enemies of democracy.

He also announced his decision to align with an opposition alliance under the ADC, with the goal of challenging and removing President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 elections.

Momodu said, “I wish to inform you of my decision to resign from our political party, PDP, with immediate effect.

“My reason is simple and straightforward. Our party has been unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight.

“It is, therefore, honourable to abandon the carcass of the party to them while the majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as the African Democratic Congress (ADC).”

This comes a few hours after Atiku Abubakar resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), citing irreconcilable differences with the party’s current direction.
