Ondo: PDP Spokesman Dumps Party

By Ayodele Oni

The spokesman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Kennedy Peretei, has resigned from the party.

Peretei submitted his letter of resignation to the chairman of his Arogbo Ward 1, on Wednesday.

Citing some actions of leaders who he accused of being selfish, he pointed out that he found it difficult to relate with such leaders.

His letter reads “I wish to inform you about my decision to quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as those who claim to be at the leadership of the party have no intention to win any elections, now or in the future.

“It is difficult to work with people whose interests are only themselves and how they can use the party to trade every election year.

“I was privileged to serve as the State Financial Secretary of the PDP at its infancy (1999-2003) and served again as State Publicity Secretary, 2020 to date.

“I contributed my quota at every level. But the same people who have held the party hostage, making it impossible to win elections in the last three election cycles have tightened their grip on a party that laid prostrate at the Intensive Care Unit. The PDP in Ondo State is now on its way to the morgue.

“For those who depend on election funds and party patronage to run their families, I admonish them to seek second addresses, so that, they can live more meaningful lives than that of political bandits, Almajaris or just Yes men.”
