JUST IN: PDP Governorship Aspirant Dumps Party

A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dumped the opposition party.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a governorship aspirant of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Obiora Okonkwo, has dumped the party.

Okonkwo, who participated in the primary election of the PDP, disclosed his intention via a letter he submitted to his ward chairman in Ogidi ward 2, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The governorship aspirant, EKO HOT BLOG reports, cited among other reasons the unending litigation in the opposition party as part of the reasons behind his resignation from the PDP.

The letter by Okonkwo was titled, “Notification Of My Resignation From The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)”.

The letter read, “I am writing to formally notify you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. My resignation letter has been long submitted to the PDP Ward Chairman Ogidi 2 in full compliance with the party constitution. My decision to resign has been occasioned by many factors.

“General lack of party discipline, fairness and due process in the conduct of party affairs, apparent manipulation in the conduct of the party’s last gubernatorial primaries in Anambra State, never ending plethora of court cases tearing the party apart which the national leadership apparently is incapable of addressing.”

Okonkwo added, “This is such that the Party runs the risk of not presenting a candidate for the November 6, 2021 governorship election in Anambra State, and unlawful dissolution of the structures of the party in Anambra State from Wards, Local Governments to the State level by the National Working Committee in clear violation of the Party’s constitution and in disobedience to interlocutory Order of FCT court issued on 25th of June, 2021.

“Given my enormous contributions to the growth of the party in Nigeria in general and Anambra State in particular, it is with a heavy heart that I write this letter. However, it is a necessary move to afford me the chance to further contribute to the development of our dear Anambra State through public service,” the governorship aspirant stated.
