Nigeria, April 23 -- Oluwole Oke, the House of Representatives member representing the Obokun/Oriade federal constituency area of Osun State, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His resignation was contained in a letter dated 16 April and addressed to the Chairman of the PDP in Ward 7, Obokun Local Government area of the state.

He did not, however, disclose the party he intended to join.

Speculations about Mr Oke's resignation had been on for weeks following an alleged strained relationship between him and the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke.

Mr Oke has been representing the federal constituency since 2003 under the PDP. It was only in one session (2011-2015) that he was not a member of the lower chamber.
