apc1

A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Gbogi Emmanuel, has officially resigned from the party.

Emmanuel submitted his resignation letter on Saturday, articulating his discontent with the ruling party under President Bola Tinubu.

He described the APC as a “weapon of poverty,” criticizing its governance for exacerbating the economic challenges faced by Nigerians.

In his resignation, Emmanuel expressed that the party has made life increasingly difficult for the populace, highlighting the visible economic hardships affecting the country.

“More so, APC is now considered as a weapon of poverty and misery for the masses evident in the economic hardship that plagues the land.

“I hold the firm belief that politics is not only about winning elections, it is about bringing succour and dividends of democracy to the people we represent,” Mr Emmanuel said in the letter.

In the copy of the letter addressed to the APC Chairman of Ward 6, Akoko South West Local Government, the party chieftain said the ruling party also failed to uphold the true tenets of democracy and disregarded loyalty among members.

According to Mr Emmanuel, the decision to exit the APC was well thought-out, especially after wide consultations with his family and political associates in Akoko land.

He added, “My decision stems from failure of the party to continue to uphold the true tenets and principles of democracy which include fairness, equity, impartiality, rewards for loyalty and bringing dividends of democracy to the masses.”

He noted that the party now has a new practice of “rob Peter to pay Paul” and described the primary that produced Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the incumbent governor and governorship candidate of the APC, as “shabby and shoddy.”
