Oyo: Ex-Senate Deputy Chief Whip, Agboola, quits PDP 

A former Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate and Chairman of the Oyo State Advisory Council, Senator Hosea Ayoola Agboola, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Agboola, popularly known as Alleluyah, announced his resignation in a letter dated October 10, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of the PDP in Itesiwaju Local Government Area of Oyo State.

In the letter obtained by our correspondent on Friday, the former lawmaker appreciated the party for the opportunity to serve at both state and national levels.

He, however, said his decision to quit the party was informed by what he described as “future political pursuit.”

The letter read in part, “I, Senator Hosea Ayoola Agboola, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and a leader both at the state and national levels, appreciate the party for the opportunities afforded me to serve as a member and leader of the party as well as the achievements made therein.

“However, you will observe that I did not participate in all the congresses held recently — local and state congresses — due to future political pursuits which are ecessary at this material time. Consequently, I hereby resign my membership from the Peoples Democratic Party effective from October 10, 2025, as I wish the party success in its activities.”

Copies of the letter were also sent to the PDP state secretariat in Molete, Ibadan, and the party’s national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

Agboola, who represented Oyo North Senatorial District in the 7th National Assembly, is a major political figure in Oyo State and was a key player in the PDP’s structure in the state.

As of press time, Agboola had yet to disclose his next political move.
