By Ayodele Oni

Ondo State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), has suffered a loss. A former State Chairman of the Party, Ebenezer Alabi, has resigned from the Party. He  submitted his resignation letter to his Ward.

In the letter dated July 18, 2024, and made available to Newsmen on Thursday, Alabi said he took the decision after wide consultations with his family members, political associates, friends and followers.

The letter was addressed to the Ward 11 chairman of the PDP in Akure North Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “I write to inform you of my resignation from the party with effect from today 18th July, 2024.

“I 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.

“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.

“The 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’s victory.

“Some of them found it easy to extort money from many aspirants during primary elections and ended up allocating delegates’ votes to them in the proportion of amounts coerced to cough out.

“The overall success of the party is none of their concern, in as much as their personal aggrandizement is satisfied.

“Unfortunately, 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.

“As 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.”

The letter is however silent on his next line of action.
