According to a statement released on Wednesday, Akinde stated that he was deeply disappointed with the current state of the PDP at the national, state, and local government levels.

“The one-time noble party I cherished so much has become a shadow of itself.
“Right from the national level manipulative division in the ranks of the party to the local government level, great injustices to our members who have contributed greatly to the party, one is left with no other option than to seek the way forward out of this quagmire.”


He emphasised that his decision to dump the party was not made hastily but his move resulted from “critical analysis after due consultation with our supporters at home and in diaspora.”

Akinde did not reveal his next political destination but hinted that future moves would be guided by his values and followers’ convictions.
