A former councillor in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, Adodo Omojowo Emmanuel, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress, citing alleged marginalisation and lack of inclusion within the party.
Adodo, who represented Ijare Ward 1 and was also a chieftain of the party in the local government, announced his decision during a press briefing held in Akure.
In a resignation letter he personally signed and presented to journalists, the former councillor requested that his name be expunged from the party’s register at all levels, including ward, local government, state and national.
He, however, expressed appreciation to the party leadership in Ifedore for the opportunity to serve during his tenure as councillor, noting that the experience contributed to his political growth.
Adodo, who once aspired to contest the chairmanship position in the council, said his decision to quit the party was driven by what he described as persistent exclusion of members from decision-making processes and opportunities.
He alleged that many party members, particularly at the grassroots, had been sidelined in terms of recognition, participation and access to benefits.
According to him, the absence of internal democracy and equitable representation within the party structure had continued to breed discontent among supporters.
The former councillor added that his resignation followed extensive consultations, maintaining that it became necessary in view of the prevailing situation within the party.
