Eyitayo Jegede, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ondo State, resigns from the party. Both outlets report that he quits following the PDP’s ongoing internal disputes.
Daily Post Nigeria says Jegede communicates his decision in a resignation letter dated August 7, 2026, addressed to the PDP chairman of Ward 11, Owode/Imagun Ward in Akure South Local Government Area. Vanguard similarly reports that Jegede “dumps” the PDP, describing him as the PDP governorship candidate for the 2016 and 2020 Ondo elections. While both accounts focus on his resignation, they differ mainly in the detail provided about the letter and the specific ward-level addressee. Neither outlet, in the provided text, specifies his next political step or gives reasons beyond the broader context of the PDP’s internal crisis.
