The Governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 Ogun Governorship election, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Nigerian politician and businessman described the decision as “a strategic and patriotic step toward rebuilding Nigeria’s unity and hope.”
ThemomentNG reports that Ajadi made the announcement on Monday, November 10, 2025, during a press briefing where he distributed copies of his resignation letter to journalists.
The letter was addressed to the NNPP ward, local government, state, zonal and national leadership.
Speaking at the briefing, Ajadi said his exit from the NNPP followed deep reflection on Nigeria’s political direction and the need to operate within a more robust structure capable of driving genuine transformation.
“My decision to join the Peoples Democratic Party is both strategic and patriotic,” he said.
“I have great respect for the NNPP and what it stands for, but at this point in Nigeria’s history, I believe the PDP offers a wider and stronger platform for national reconciliation, youth empowerment, and true federalism.”
