Edo Guber: Asue Ighodalo Campaign Council Member Resigns from PDP

Ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, Prince Felix Abubakar Isuku, a member of the Asue Ighodalo Campaign Council, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). DAILY POST reports that Isuku is the latest in a series of PDP chieftains leaving the party ahead of the polls.

Isuku’s resignation was announced in a letter addressed to the PDP state chairman and other relevant officials on Friday. Isuku, a three-time Executive Director of Edo State Internal Revenue Service under the administrations of Governor Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor, Comrade Governor Adams Aliu Oshiomhole, attributed his decision to the ongoing power struggles and factionalization within the party.

In his resignation letter, Isuku stated, “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 PDP. The high level of power struggle that started with the factionalization of the party has led to an unprecedented and unending political divide, affecting the internal politics of the PDP.”

He further criticized the continued megalomaniac attitude of some party leaders, noting that he has lost interest in the party’s leadership and confidence in its ability to win 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 have worked tirelessly for the PDP, using my resources and influence to support the party wholeheartedly, especially during electoral processes,” Isuku wrote.

However, he explained that his interests and ideologies no longer align with those of the party. “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,” he concluded.
