A former Senate deputy Chief Whip and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo, Senator Agboola Ayoola, popularly called Alleluyah, has resigned his membership from the party.
A letter to this effect was made available to the newsmen in Ibadan on Friday.
‘I, Senator Agboola, a member of PDP and a leader, both at the state and national level, appreciate the party for the opportunities afforded me to serve the party as a member and leader, as well as the achievements made therein.
‘However, you will observe that I did not participate in all the congresses held recently, that is, the local and state congresses, due to future political pursuits which are necessary at this material time.
‘Consequently, I hereby resign my membership from the PDP effective from October 10, 2025, as I wish the party success in its activities.’
Agboola had served as former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in the administration of the former Governor, and now the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, between 2003 and 2005.
He was also nominated as Commissioner for the same portfolio by the late former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala between 2007 and 2011.
Agboola was the only elected senator under the PDP in the whole South-West region between 2011 and 2015.
