Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, Director-General of the Asue/Ogie Campaign Council, announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday, July 17, 2025.
In a letter addressed to Andrew Esemuede, Chairman of PDP Ward 5, Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area, Edo State, Iduoriyekemwen pointed to recent developments at the state and national levels of the party as the basis for his decision to leave.
The letter stated, “I am writing to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ward 5, Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area, Edo State.”
“This is a painstaking decision for me, as the PDP has played a vital role in my political journey and personal development. For this, I remain deeply grateful and will always cherish the platform the party provided me.
“However, recent developments within the party—both at the state and national levels—have made it difficult for me to remain a member.
“The values and principles that once defined the PDP, as laid down by our founding fathers, appear to have been eroded. What we see today no longer aligns with the vision they had for a truly democratic, inclusive, and people-centred political party.”
He added that his decision was not driven by anger or haste, but by reflection and a commitment to his personal values.
“In view of this, I have decided to resign my membership of the party to enable me to concentrate fully on my family and business engagements.
“This is not a decision made out of anger or haste, but one rooted in deep reflection and a sincere desire to preserve my personal values and integrity.
“I sincerely thank the party leadership and all members of Ward 5, Ikpoba-Okha LGA, for their love and support over the years. I wish the PDP well in its future endeavours.”
