Enugu – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been left by one of its prominent figures, Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh-Okoye, who announced his resignation from the party in a letter dated October 13, 2025, citing disillusionment with PDP’s departure from its core values.
Former National Secretary Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh-Okoye penned the resignation letter to the Agbogugu Ward Chairman, Awgu Local Government Area, Enugu State, expressing profound disappointment over erosion of principles like unity, justice, and equity he believes were foundational to the PDP. “Over time, I have watched with increasing concern as the ideals and vision of the founding fathers of the PDP, built on the principles of unity, justice, and equity, have been eroded,” Udeh-Okoye stated in the correspondence.
Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh-Okoye recounted significant roles he held in the party including serving as a Member of the Enugu State House of Assembly, National Youth Leader, and culminating in his appointment as National Secretary. “The PDP has been an integral part of my political journey… For these privileges of service and trust, I remain profoundly grateful,” he expressed in a statement.
Udeh-Okoye indicated his decision followed much contemplation, stressing he could no longer align with a party he feels has lost its moral compass. “I can no longer, in good conscience, remain within a system that has strayed so far from its original purpose,” he affirmed, signaling intent to pursue a path focused on restoring democratic values and accountability.
The former National Secretary thanked party members and executives for support and camaraderie. Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh-Okoye’s exit underscores internal questioning of PDP’s current direction amid Nigeria’s charged political environment. His future political trajectory remains unspecified as he charts post-PDP course emphasizing service and principle-driven politics.
