Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State Governor Chief James Ibori and a member of the House of Representatives, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a letter dated Thursday, December 5, and addressed to the PDP Chairman of the Ethiope West Council, Ibori-Suenu cited exclusion by the Delta State chapter and the ongoing national leadership crisis as reasons for her decision.
The letter, titled "Notice of Resignation of Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu as Member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)," stated:
"Please be informed that by this notice I formally resign as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. I surrender my attached Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] Membership Card, with membership number 0777144 in furtherance of my complete dissociation and disengagement from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)."
Ibori-Suenu highlighted her dissatisfaction with her exclusion by the Delta State chapter of the party and expressed concerns over the party's national leadership crisis, which she described as having divided the PDP into irreconcilable factions.
Her resignation marks another significant shift in Delta State’s political landscape and reflects the broader challenges facing the PDP amid ongoing internal struggles.
