The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has described the resignation of Dr Peter Ogundeji, popularly known as Apata, as an answered prayer ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
It would be recalled that Ogundeji, a former aspirant for the Osun West Senatorial District, announced his resignation in a letter dated July 11, 2026 and addressed to the APC Chairman of Ward 6, Ola, in Ejigbo Local Government Area.
In the letter, he said the decision followed deep personal reflection and extensive consultations with my political associates and supporters.
Ogundeji said his exit was driven by commitment to fairness, inclusiveness and mutual respect.
Reacting on Monday, APC spokesperson in Osun, Kola Olabisi, said membership of a political party is voluntary.
“Membership of a political party is not by coercion. Anybody is free to join any party of their choice, and Apata’s exit is one of our answered prayers,” he stated.
Olabisi added that the party had been praying for God to remove anyone who would be a clog to its victory at the poll.
“We have been praying that whoever will be a clog to the victory of our candidate at the poll, God should remove him, and that is what we are witnessing,” he said.
