Erstwhile Imo PDP chieftain Sunny Ndukwu
By CHARLES IWUOHA
Sunny Ndukwu, media aide to the sacked Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has resigned his membership amidst the ongoing leadership crisis in the party.
In a letter dated January 4th, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of the PDP, Nguru Umuowa Ward 6, Ngor Okpala LGA of Imo State, Ndukwu stated that his resignation is due to the lack of cohesion and direction, as well as irreconcilable differences in the party.
He noted that he deemed it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which, according to him, diverges from the foundational principles the party stood for.
The letter reads: "I seize this medium to formally resign my membership from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP forthwith. I sincerely appreciate the party for the opportunity given to me to serve in various capacities.
"However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken. “The time has come for me to align myself with a credible political platform that its objectives would not be at variance with my personal beliefs.”
He was Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, Imo State PDP 2023 Governorship Campaign Council.
Prior to the 2023 governorship electioneering campaign, Sen Samuel Anyanwu appointed him as Director, Media and Publicity of his Divine Mandate Movement, a political campaign platform of the National Secretary of PDP.
Ndukwu was appointed Secretary, Ngor Okpala LGA PDP Congress Committee in 2024, as he played a prominent role in the harmonization of the LGA Congress list that produced the current LGA and the Eleven (11), Electoral Ward Officers in the area.
His resignation from the party is indeed a setback for the National Secretary, as his political structure in the area will now align with another political platform in no distant time.
Ndukwu, known for his courageous stance and grassroots support base, is expected to make his next political move known soon.
