Top PDP Chieftain Dumps Party In Ondo

Ebenezer Alabi, who previously served as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, has formally announced his membership withdrawal.

Alabi disclosed his decision to step down after engaging in extensive consultations with his family, political allies, friends, and supporters regarding the current state of the PDP.

He specifically criticized the party’s leadership for consistently exploiting each election cycle as an opportunity for financial gain at the expense of aspiring candidates.

As a result, Alabi stated he could no longer be associated with ‘political leaders whose primary objective appears to be amassing wealth through every election cycle.’

In his resignation letter submitted at his Ward 11 in Akure North Local Government of Ondo State, Alabi highlighted the significant portion of funds allocated for mobilization during the recent general elections that were misappropriated by these leaders, thereby hindering the party’s chances of success.

“Some of them found it easy to extort money from many aspirants during primary elections and ended up allocating delegates’ votes to them in the proportion of amounts coerced to cough out. The overall success of the party is none of their concern, in as much as their personal aggrandizement is satisfied.

“Unfortunately, the depressing reality is that I am yet to notice any radical departure from this ugly trend, hence my decision to quit in order not to be part of further political misfortunes.

“As I take a final bow today, let me use this medium to express my deep appreciation to you and all other party members for their support, respect and cooperation accorded me for the past 21 years,” Alabi stated in the resignation letter.
