Breaking: Popular Southern APC Federal Lawmaker Resigns, Gives Reason
Esosa Iyawe, the lawmaker representing Oredo federal constituency in the House of Representatives, has resigned his membership from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing irreconciliable differences between him and Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State.
In a letter directed to the Ward chairman in the Oredo local government area of Edo state, dated Wednesday, May 7, the lawmaker said he will be joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He maintained that "this regrettable decision had been made after careful reflection and consideration", while expressing gratitude to the APC for having the opportunity to be associated with the ruling party.
This is coming amid alignment and realignment by politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections, as well as the directive of President Bola Tinubu that governors were in charge of the party primaries in their states.
