Former Ogun State Commissioner for information and strategy, Modele Sarafa-Yusuf, has resigned her membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the decision followed an extended period of reflection on her political journey and future.
Sarafa-Yusuf disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, August 27, 2026, titled “Moving Forward,” in which she said she had formally informed the leadership of the party in Ogun State and submitted her resignation letter.
She described her time in the APC as an important part of her political journey, expressing appreciation for the people she met, relationships she built and experiences that shaped her understanding of public service and leadership.
According to her, there comes a time when one must have the courage to reassess one’s path, stressing that her decision was informed by the need to carefully consider how best she could continue to contribute to Ogun State and Nigeria.
Sarafa-Yusuf, however, clarified that her resignation from the APC does not amount to an exit from public service, insisting that her commitment to serving the people remains undiminished.
She said her future political engagement would continue to be guided by the values of service, integrity, inclusion and competence, as well as a genuine desire to make a difference.
The former commissioner added that she would return to her professional and business commitments after her holiday while taking time to determine the direction of the next phase of her political engagement.
She wished the APC and its members well, noting that while she was stepping away from the party, she was not stepping away from public service.
Sarafa-Yusuf’s resignation comes amid growing political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections in Ogun State, although she did not disclose the political platform, if any, that she may join next.
