He explained that he had already informed the appropriate quarters via a resignation letter dated April 16, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Chairman in Ward 7, Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State.

Rep. Oke, who was the immediate past Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts (PAC) and is the current Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, added that he was leaving the party along with his supporters in the Parliament and all political appointees at all levels, as he had already directed them to follow suit.

Rep. Oke, who was silent about his next political destination, urged his supporters to remain calm and await further directives after ongoing wide and deep consultations.

However, the lawmaker did not disclose his next political move, even as he urged his loyalists and supporters to leave the PDP and await his next direction.
