Thursday, May 8, 2025 - Hon. Olalekan Anjolaiya, a former Lagos State House of Assembly aspirant for Alimosho Constituency II has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a statement on Wednesday, Anjolaiya, while confirming his
membership of the Labour Party, cited what he described as the PDP’s “dwindling
ideological integrity”, as reason for his decision.
He also accused the main opposition party of having
“structural weaknesses, and a concerning closeness” to the All Progressives
Congress, APC-led administration.
Anjolaiya had served as a member of the PDP Local Government
Executive in the constituency, where he played a key role in the party’s
rebranding agenda.
He, however, said the party had lost its ideological focus
in recent times, abandoning its role as a credible opposition to become, in his
words, a mere appendage of the ruling APC.
“The PDP no longer functions as a credible opposition. It
has lost its ideological focus, its moral compass, and its voice. Today, it
operates more like an appendage of the APC than a people-centred alternative.
“As a proud Awori son of Igando, Alimosho, I believe the
days of political intimidation and tribal politics in Lagos are over. The
people are ready for a new era of issue-based, inclusive, and people-oriented
governance,” Anjolaiya stated.
