Despite his exit, Onireti expressed appreciation to party leaders and members for their support and collaboration throughout his time in the party.
“I remain grateful for the opportunity to serve and for the relationships and experiences I gained during my time in the party. I wish the party well in its future endeavours,” he added.
The resignation is already stirring conversations within the political landscape of Ogbomoso North, with observers closely watching for indications of Onireti’s next political direction, amid speculations that his exit could signal a realignment ahead of future electoral contests.
