Matthew Urhoghide and Patrick Akinyelure announced their resignations from the PDP through letters addressed separately to the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and read at the plenary on Wednesday.
They also expressed willingness to join any other political party that will accept their terms of negotiations.
In the letter, Mr Urhoghide said his resignation from the PDP would take immediate effect while Mr Akinyelure said his resignation would take effect on 11 June 11, 2023 after expiration of the 9th Senate. “I don’t know what I have done but God will judge everybody. They planned against my reelection and I kept quiet and I have decided at the end of my tenure, I’ll resign from the party,” he said.“I funded the party and we led the party. They don’t want anybody to grow. We added value to people, we are professionals, we don’t live alone on what we get from the Senate.
