Ovation Magazine boss, Dele Momodu, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to a letter addressed to his ward chairman in Edo, Momodu revealed that the PDP has been hijacked by anti-democratic forces.

His resignation came a few hours after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar dumped the PDP and announced his membership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Momodu wrote, "I wish to inform you of my decision to resign from our political party, PDP, with immediate effect. My reason is simple and straightforward. Our party has been unarguably hijacked by anti-democratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight.

"It is, therefore, honourable to abandon the carcass of the party to them while the majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

"I will forever treasure the kind support you gave me at all times."
