Event Summary

Kola Ologbondiyan, the former National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party, formally resigned from the party on December 5, 2025, citing personal reasons. His departure is part of a broader trend of high-profile defections from the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party in 2025, which has seen governors, legislators, and former national leaders, including Atiku Abubakar and Dino Melaye, leave the party. Many defectors have joined the Nigeria — All Progressives Congress or the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress, with figures like David Mark taking leadership roles in the latter. These political realignments are occurring amidst internal disputes within the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party and strategic preparations for the 2027 general elections in Nigeria.
