A stalwart of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, Senator Tunde Ogbeha has dumped PDP and joined the coal’tion African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Senator Ogbeha made his resignation known in a letter addressed 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,” Ogbeha said.

“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.”

Senator Ogbeha also announced his decision to join ADC.

“After wide consultations with my family, friends, and political associates, I have resolved to join the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as part of the collective effort to rescue our nation and preserve our hard-earned democracy,” he said. (The Guardian)
