A former Chief of Staff to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Bisi Ilaka, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking a significant political development in the state.
Ilaka, who previously served as a key figure in Governor Makinde’s administration, announced his departure from the ruling party in Oyo State, citing undisclosed reasons for his decision.
Though details surrounding his next political move remain unclear, sources within the party say his resignation could signal a potential realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ilaka has been an influential political actor in Oyo State, having played prominent roles in state politics over the years. His exit from the PDP is expected to generate reactions within political circles, especially given his past close association with Governor Makinde.
As of press time, the Oyo State chapter of the PDP has not issued an official statement regarding his resignation.
Observers say the development adds to the growing political recalibrations taking place across the state as parties and individuals begin positioning for future contests.
