July 17, (THEWILL) — A top ally of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and the Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Citing the party’s internal collapse as reason for leaving, Momodu, in his resignation letter addressed to The Chairman of Ward 4, Ihievbe, in Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, said the PDP has been hijacked by anti-democratic interests.
“My reason is simple and straightforward. Our party has been unarguably hijacked by anti-democratic forces, from within and outside, in broad daylight”, he said.
The former presidential aspirant added that it was “honourable to abandon the carcass of the party” and instead support a new political movement.
“The majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as the African Democratic Congress (ADC)”, he wrote.
