Barrister Silas Onu, former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, has resigned from the PDP and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), aligning with a coalition of opposition leaders preparing for the 2027 general elections.
Onu, who ran as the PDP candidate in the February 4, 2024, Ebonyi South Zone senatorial rerun election, announced his decision in a letter to the Chairman of his Obiozara Ward, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent.
In the letter, Onu attributed his exit to irreconcilable differences within the PDP, specifically citing excessive interference by some governors in the party’s internal affairs.
“It is with a heavy heart, yet for patriotic reasons, that I resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect,” the letter read in part.
Reflecting on his time in the PDP, Onu recalled his contributions to the party’s development at the grassroots and state levels, including serving as State Publicity Secretary and later as State Chairman. He emphasized that his decision to leave the party was not taken lightly.
“Due to some irreconcilable differences, especially the role being played by a few sitting governors of the party, I am compelled to pursue my political aspirations from a different, but stable platform,” he stated.
Onu urged his supporters to join him in the ADC, expressing hope for a more united and progressive political movement.
“I thank you for your unflinching support throughout my membership of the PDP and pray that we can all journey into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to continue forging a strong political movement for the overall good of our people,” he concluded.
