Dr. Charles Oludare has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing concerns over alleged irregularities in the party’s primary election in Ondo State and what he described as a growing threat to Nigeria’s democratic system.

Explaining his position, Oludare said, “I am resigning from APC because we are turning Nigeria into China. Into a one party state and I have complained about this even when I was in APC that the APC is going to damage democracy.”
