Senator Tunde Ogbeha, a prominent figure in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, has officially left the party and pitched his tent with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a resignation letter addressed to the Chairman of PDP Ward A, Lokoja Local Government Area, the former senator cited ongoing internal crises and leadership issues within the PDP as key reasons for his decision to part ways with the party.
“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 stated in the letter.
“Even when nearly all stakeholders departed the party following our loss in the 2015 presidential election, I pledged to remain the last man standing.”
Senator Ogbeha, who has played a visible role in the PDP’s activities over the years, lamented the current state of affairs within the party.
He expressed disappointment that his dedication to rebuilding and stabilizing the PDP appears to have been undermined by persistent internal discord.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
Following his departure from the PDP, Senator Ogbeha announced he would be joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He described this move as a step toward contributing to national redemption through a new political platform.
“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 declared.
