The lawmaker linked his decision to persistent internal disputes within the party. He said the situation had worsened to a point where remaining a member was no longer tenable.
In a message shared with journalists and reported by The Nation, Yaroe warned that the party was headed toward an irreversible breakdown at the national level.
Binos Yaroe leaves PDP amid crisis
“After many years of fruitful journey as a committed member of the PDP, it pains me that the party has elected to self-destruction at the national level,” he said.
In a post on his social page, Yaroe confirmed that he followed due process in exiting the party. He stated that a formal resignation letter was submitted to his ward chairman in Mbilla Ward, Mayo-Belwa Local Government Area. Copies were also sent to party leaders at the local government and state levels in Adamawa State.
His departure adds to a growing list of prominent figures who have left the PDP in recent weeks. Earlier this month, former Minister of State for Health Aliyu Idi Hong also announced his exit from the party.
Speculation has continued to trail the political direction of the state. Reports suggest that Governor Ahmadu Fintiri may soon clarify his own position amid the unfolding realignments. For now, Yaroe’s move signals fresh uncertainty for the party’s standing in Adamawa South and beyond.

Ologbondiyan announced his resignation in a statement on X on Saturday, December 6, 2025. He also shared a letter dated December 5, which he addressed to the chairman of his Okekoko Ward in Kabba Bunu Local Government, Kogi State.
The letter confirmed his decision to end his membership after what he described as a personal review of his role in the party.
