The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former senatorial aspirant, Engr. Peter Ogundeji, popularly known as Apata, have disagreed over his recent resignation from the party.
It would be recalled that Ogundeji announced his resignation in a letter dated July 11, 2026, addressed to the APC Chairman of Ward 6, Ola, in Ejigbo Local Government Area.
Reacting on Monday, the APC spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, described Ogundeji’s exit as “one of our answered prayers”.
He said membership of a political party is voluntary and no one is coerced to stay.
“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,” Olabisi said.
But APATA’s media office, in a statement on Wednesday, said Ogundeji is not a political adventurer whose relevance began with the APC.
It noted that his political journey started in the Alliance for Democracy, AD, and progressed through AC, ACN, to APC, during which he committed resources to strengthening the party in Osun West Senatorial District.
“It is, therefore, ironic that those who once applauded his commitment and benefited from his political goodwill now describe his principled resignation as ‘an answered prayer,” the statement said.
