A former National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sunday Udeh-Okoye, has formally resigned his membership of the party.
Naijaonpoint reports that Udeh-Okoye said his decision to quit the PDP was borne out of disappointment, accusing the party of derailing from the vision and ideals of its founding fathers.
His resignation was contained in a letter addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman in Agbogugu Ward, Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The letter reads, “I wish to formally tender my resignation as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“This decision did not come lightly. The PDP has been an integral part of my political journey, offering me the invaluable opportunity to contest and serve as a Member of Enugu State House of Assembly, the National Youth Leader of the party, and most recently as the National Secretary.
“For these privileges of service and trust, I remain profoundly grateful to the party, its
lenders, and members at all levels.
“However, over time, I have watched with increasing concerns as the ideals and vision of the founding fathers of the PDP, built on the principles of unity, justice, and equity, have been eroded.
“The PDP that once stood as a beacon of hope for democratic governance has regrettably lost its moral compass and ideological direction.
“After much contemplation, I have come to the solemn conclusion that I can no longer, in good conscience, remain within a system that has strayed so far from its original purpose.
“Therefore, I am compelled to part ways with the PDP as I embark on a progressive journey dedicated to restoring the values of democracy, accountability, and service to the people, which the party has sadly abandoned.”
