A former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Banji Okunomo, yesterday resigned his membership of the party.
Okunomo, who is a former chairman Ilaje LGA, announced his resignation in a letter addressed to the chairman of the PDP of Ugbo Ward I in Ilaje LGA, saying he left the PDP following the leadership crisis rocking the party in the state.
He dumped the party alongside a former chairman of Okitipupa LGA, Solomon Bitire, and the coordinator of the 2023 PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) in Ilaje LGA, Jossy Ehinmore.
