Dr. Victor Alewo Adoji, a former governorship aspirant in Kogi State and one-time senatorial candidate for Kogi East under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has officially resigned from the party, signaling a potential shift in his political trajectory.
In a letter addressed to the PDP chairman of his ward in Okura Aloma, Ogbonicha district of Ofu Local Government Area, Adoji stated that his decision to leave the party was driven by a need to realign with his evolving political ideology and aspirations.
While he did not immediately disclose his next political move, sources close to the former top executive at Zenith Bank hinted that he is strongly considering joining the All Progressives Congress (APC). His defection, if confirmed, could significantly alter the political landscape in Kogi State, especially within the Kogi East senatorial district, where he has built a formidable support base.
Adoji, known for his grassroots appeal and technocratic background, has been a prominent figure in Kogi politics. His departure from the PDP marks a significant shift, particularly as the state continues to witness a series of high-profile defections ahead of the next political cycle.
Observers believe that his rumored move to the APC aligns with the broader realignments in Kogi politics, where key figures are positioning themselves for future political contests. Whether his next step will indeed be a formal crossover to the ruling party remains to be seen, but his influence in the state’s political sphere is undeniable.
