Enugu State’s political scene experienced a shake-up as former federal lawmaker, Rt. Hon. (Prince) Ofor Gregory Chukwuegbo, formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a resignation letter dated October 13, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Ward 02 Chairman in Amechi-Uwani, Enugu South Local Government Area, Chukwuegbo cited deep dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs within the PDP as the reason for his decision.
The letter obtained by DAILY GAZETTE reads;
“I hereby resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), effective this 13th day of October, 2025,” the letter read.
Offering further insight into his defection, Chukwuegbo said the PDP no longer represented a viable platform for pursuing meaningful political goals or effecting change.
“This decision follows deep reflection. The ongoing decline in the party’s structure and vision has made it increasingly incapable of serving as a platform where members can pursue genuine aspirations,” he stated.
According to the former lawmaker, the need to align with a political body that reflects his commitment to development and impactful governance informed his move.
“It is essential for me to work with a platform that allows me to continue making a difference in my community and in the nation at large,” he explained.
Chukwuegbo was candid in his assessment of the PDP’s current state, declaring that the party no longer offers him the opportunity to achieve his political mission.
“As of today, the PDP is no longer in a position to offer me that opportunity,” he declared.
He ended his letter with a definitive statement about his next political chapter:
“I have joined and pledged my loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
