Oluwole Oke, a six-term member of the House of Representatives, has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in Osun State, Oke made his exit public after submitting a formal resignation letter dated April 16, 2025, addressed to the PDP Chairman in Ward 7, Obokun Local Government Area.

Sources close to Oke reveal that his decision followed wide consultations with political associates, family members, and close allies. He has also called on his supporters and loyalists across Osun State to leave the PDP and await further instructions, a development that could trigger mass defection and destabilize the party’s structure in the state.
