The gale of high profile defections hitting the ranks of the crisis-ridden Peoples Democratic party PDP, post Court of Appeal consolidated ruling, has continued unabated with the former Governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke, exiting the party.
Senator Imoke who presided over the affairs of Cross River state between 2007 and 2015, in a letter of resignation addressed to the PDP Chairman, Itigidi Ward, in Abi Local Government Area of the State, dated March 3, 2026, appreciated the party for the opportunities afforded him to serve the people, including as a Minister of the Federal Republic ofNigeria.
The former Senator that represented Cross River Central at the National Assembly blamed his decision to quit the PDP after over 27 years as a founding member on the festering and intractable leadership and internal crises bedeviling the party.
“Regrettably, my resignation is due to the protracted crisis within the party which has made it impossible for me to effectively serve the party and the people
“I am grateful for the opportunities the party offered me to serve our nation and state as presidential Special Adviser, Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and Governor of Cross River State.
” I wish you all the best, and again express my sincere appreciation for the support I enjoyed over the years.
“Please, accept the assurances of my warmest regards”, Imoke stated .
The Source reports that Senator Imoke has been involved in the process of nursing the new-look opposition Coalition platform the ADC, since early last year.
It is widely expected he will be formally joining the ranks of ADC just like his predecessor in office , Donald Duke, in the days ahead.
