A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator from Kogi State, Tunde Ogbeha dumped the party.
Ogbeh, who is now a member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has communicated his decision to the PDP.
He addressed a letter of resignation to the Chairman of PDP ward A, Lokoja, Lokoja Local Government Area, Kogi State.
“I write to formally inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the party with immediate effect. You may recall that over the years, I have remained firm and deeply committed to the ideals of the PDP.
“Even when nearly all stakeholders departed the party following our loss in the 2015 presidential election, I pledged to remain the last man standing.
“I have worked steadfastly to rebuild, reconcile, and reposition the party, efforts which, without sounding immodest, helped restore the PDP to national relevance and made it once again a party of choice for many Nigerians.
“However, recent events marked by deepening divisions, persistent leadership crisis, and irreconcilable differences have reduced the party to a shadow of its former self, subjecting it to public ridicule,” Ogbeha said.
Announcing his decision to join the ADC, Ogbeha said his decision to join the party came after wide consultations with his family, friends, and political associates.
According to him, he resolved to join the ADC as part of the collective effort to rescue the country and preserve the hard-earned democracy.
