DAB Silence Worrisome as Ojo Philip Dumps YPP Weeks After Ifeanyi Ubah Left | GOVERNMEND

In the wake of political transfer across the country, the Young Progressives Party’s chieftain, Ojo Philip has disclosed that it’s high time he moved on to make stronger alliance that will be of benefit to his teeming supporters in and outside Osun state, ahead of the next election. He also mentioned that his decision was informed by his supporters in the state, and not really about the leadership crisis the party has had to deal with for over a year.

In a resignation letter he dropped at the Party’s Secretariat, Philip noted that:
“Joining this party was a decision I made with genuine enthusiasm, fueled by a strong belief in its principles and policies. I dedicated my time, energy, and resources contributing towards the betterment of our society, particularly in my bid for the Osun State House of Assembly, Ifelodun constituency. Throughout my journey as a member, I held the esteemed position of State Zonal Secretary (Central),State Publicity Secretary among other duties with great sense of responsibility.

“However, as life often presents us with unforeseen challenges, recent events have led me to reevaluate my political affiliation. I have witnessed certain actions, decisions, and ideologies within the party that directly contradict my core values and what I stand for as a representative of the people as such led me to a convinction that my aspirations and vision for the betterment of our society align more closely with another political platform.

“This decision has not been taken lightly, as I have cherished the relationships and experiences I have gained during my time with the Young Progressives party. However, I also understand the importance of staying true to oneself and standing firmly behind one’s convictions.

“I hope my resignation will not be seen as an act of betrayal, but rather as a personal choice to pursue a different political path, one that is more aligned with my deep-rooted passion for positive change and progress. It is my sincere hope that the Young Progressives party continues its commendable work in the service of the people, and I wish my former colleagues success in their future endeavors.”

Ojo Philip worked closely with Dr. Ademola Bayonle in the 2022 governorship election in Osun. His decision to leave the party may be a shared idea between him and his boss, a party member noted. However, Dr. Bayonle hasn’t yet reacted about the leadership crisis bewildering the promising political party.
