A former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Ebenezer Alabi, resigns as the internal crisis rocking the party deepens.
\nMr Alabi, tendered his resignation to the party’s chairman, Ward 11, Akure North Local Government.<\/p>\n
He said that he made the decision after wide consultation with his family members, political associates, and friends.<\/p>\n
In the copy of the resignation letter dated July 18, 2024, the ex-chairman explained that he could not in good conscience continue with some party leaders who aim to make financial fortunes at every circle of elections in the state.<\/p>\n
According to the politician, \u201cThe large chunk of money sent for mobilization during the past general elections ended up in the private pockets of these leaders at the detriment of the party\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of them found it easy to extort money from many aspirants during primary elections and ended up allocating delegates\u2019 votes to them in the proportion of amounts coerced to cough out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI came to this conclusion after wide consultations with my family members, political associates, friends and followers on the pariah state of affairs of the party in the state,\u201d said Mr Alabi. I cannot, in good conscience, further continue to co-habit with some political leaders whose aim is to make financial fortunes at every cycle of election.\u201d<\/p>\n
He alleged that the party\u2019s overall success \u201cis none of their concern, in as much as their personal aggrandizement is satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n
The disgruntled erstwhile PDP chair added, \u201cUnfortunately, the depressing reality is that I am yet to notice any radical departure from this ugly trend, hence my decision to quit in order not to be part of further political misfortunes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I take a final bow today, let me use this medium to express my deep appreciation to you and all other party members for their support, respect and cooperation accorded me for the past 21 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Alabi\u2019s resignation came barely 24 hours after some leaders and members of the PDP dumped PDP for APC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
