Ugonna’s resignation from the party is contained in a letter dated April 25, 2024 and addressed to the Chairman of PDP’s Umuozu Ward in the Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State.
A former member of the House of Representatives, who represented Nkwelle/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba Federal Constituency, Ozurigbo Ugonna, has resigned as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ugonna’s resignation from the party is contained in a letter dated April 25, 2024 and addressed to the Chairman of PDP’s Umuozu Ward in the Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State.
Making the letter public on Monday on his X account, Ugonna wrote, “I have resigned my membership of the @OfficialPDPNig. It was a difficult action but it had to be done following the decay in the party and too many differences. I wish the party well in its future endeavours.”
The resignation letter reads, “I have come to that decisive moment I had never wished, as I am constrained by circumstances defined by hard truths, incompatible differences within the PDP party and after due consultations with stakeholders to inform you that I have resigned my membership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
“Kindly accept my regards of highest esteem,” he added.
There have been resignations from the PDP by the chieftains of the party in recent times.
For instance, a former presidential aspirant of the party from Abia State, Chief Cosmos Ndukwe, announced his resignation from the party on Monday.
In a post on his Facebook page, Ndukwe said “this is time to leave PDP family”.
Last week, a former Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, also resigned from the PDP over the lingering internal crisis in the party.
Ihedioha tendered his resignation in a letter addressed to the PDP Mbutu Ward Chairman in the Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo state.
He said that the party had taken a path that was at variance with his personal beliefs.
“Despite my attempt to offer counsel, the party is, sadly, no longer able to carry out internal reforms, enforce its own rules or offer credible opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress,” he added.
