Member of Asue Ighodalo’s campaign council resigns from PDP.

In preparation for the upcoming governorship election in Edo State on September 21st, Prince Felix Abubakar Isuku, a member of the Asue Ighodalo Campaign Council, has chosen to resign from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This development follows a pattern of several PDP leaders abandoning the party in the run-up to the elections.

Isuku tendered his resignation through a formal letter directed to the PDP state chairman and other relevant party officials last Friday.

Having served as an Executive Director at the Edo State Internal Revenue Service on three occasions, during the tenures of both Governor Godwin Obaseki and former Governor Adams Aliu Oshiomhole, Isuku cited internal party divisions as his primary reason for departing from the PDP.

The rift within the party structure in the state is noted as the catalyst for his decision.

“I write to inform you that after extensive consultations with my enlarged political family in Owan constituency in Owan East and Owan West, I have decided to formally resign as a member of the above named party (PDP).

“The reason for my resignation is because of the high level of power struggle that started with the fractionalization of the party and metamorphosed into an unprecedented and unending faction or political divide that has continued to affect the internal politics of the party (PDP).

“Another reason is the continued megalomaniac attitude of some party leaders which cannot be over emphasized or ignored.

“I have lost interest in the leadership of the party and have as well lost confidence in the ability of the party to win any credible elections.

“Before now, I was the PDP Leader of Wards 3 and 4 of Ihievbe, as well as one of the foremost Leaders of PDP in Owan East and West Local Governments.

“I also was a three-time Executive Director of Edo State Internal Revenue Service under the current administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor the then Revered Comrade Governor Adams Aliu Oshiomhole.

“I have worked tirelessly for the PDP using my resources and influence to wholeheartedly support the party at all times, especially during electoral processes.

“However my interests and ideologies are no longer aligned with that of the party as a house divided against itself can never stand, hence my resignation.

“Kindly consider this as my resignation from every party responsibility henceforth including my service as a member of the campaign committee for Dr Asue Ighodalo.”
