Osun State’s New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) chairman, Dr Tosin Odeyemi, resigns from the party and takes up an acting leadership role in the newly registered Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA). Multiple reports say Odeyemi is appointed acting state chairman of the DLA after his resignation from the NNPP. The resignation is reported to be contained in a letter dated July 16, 2026, addressed to the national chairman of the NNPP. After stepping down, Odeyemi is said to assume the DLA appointment as acting state chairman for Osun. The accounts emphasize that the DLA is newly registered and that Odeyemi’s new role is specifically described as “acting,” indicating it is temporary pending any subsequent confirmation or formalization. Across the sources, the key points are the same: Odeyemi resigns from the NNPP and is appointed acting state chairman of the Democratic Leadership Alliance in Osun.
