Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after 27 years sojourn.
In spite of the past misfortunes of the PDP since 2015 when it lost the plum Presidential election, the Senator remained steadfast as the last man standing.
In the resignation letter addressed to his Otukpo ward one Chairman in Benue state, he said the PDP has been hijacked, decimated and damaged irredeemably by anti democratic forces.
Senator Mark stated “I bring warm greetings to you and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Otukpo Ward 1, and by extension, to the entire Benue State and Nigeria.
“I write to formally inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the party with immediate effect.
“You may recall that over the years, I have remained firm and deeply committed to the ideals of the PDP. Even when nearly all stakeholders departed the party following our loss in the 2015 presidential election, I pledged to remain the last man standing.
“I have worked steadfastly to rebuild, reconcile, and reposition the party, efforts which without sounding immodest helped restore the PDP to national relevance and made it once again a party of choice for many Nigerians.
“However, recent events marked by deepening divisions, persistent leadership crisis, and irreconcilable differences have reduced the party to a shadow of its former self, subjecting it to public ridicule.
“After wide consultations with my family, friends, political associates and constituents , I have resolved to join the National Coalition of Political Opposition Movement in Nigeria, as part of the collective effort to rescue our nation and preserve our hard-earned democracy”.
The Chairman PDP Otukpo ward one Mr Odaudu Paul Acheme has already acknowledged receipt of the letter.
