In a letter dated February 6, 2025 addressed to the ward Chairman of the PDP in Obodo/Ubeji 1 of Warri South LGA, Mr Allen Mayuku; he gave reasons for his action citing uncanny reward system and unaccommodating posture of the party to progressive minds; and that his personal character is averse to the culture of the PDP and hence, the decision to terminate his membership of the party.
” I write to officially notify the party of my decision to rescind my membership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with party registration number 294/04/2022.
” I have been a loyal card-carrying member since 2021 and contributed actively to the election which delivered His Excellency, Sheriff F.O Oborevwori as Governor of Delta State and the other 4 elective positions (completing 5/5 in Ward 1) in the 2023 general elections.
” It is worthy of mention that I also actively served (briefly) as Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
” In 2020, I willfully joined the party because I thought it is a platform for young and promising Deltans.
” The party allowed room for me to take a shot at the race to the chairmanship ticket of Warri South LGA in the 2024 Delta LGA polls.
” However, during and after the contest, I became more familiar with the culture of the party which quite frankly has an uncanny reward system and unaccommodating to new progressive ideas, particularly in Warri South.
” It is not in my character to remain in a place averse to my progress, contribution and aspiration.”
