2027 poll: Ibori’s daughter gives reasons for dumping PDP

Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State Governor Chief James Ibori and a member of the House of Representatives, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter dated Thursday, December 5, and addressed to the PDP Chairman of the Ethiope West Council area, Ibori-Suenu cited exclusion by the Delta state chapter of the party as the reason for her resignation.

The letter, titled “Notice of Resignation of Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu as Member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” stated: “Please be informed that by this notice I formally resign as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. I surrender my attached Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] Membership Card, with membership number 0777144 in furtherance of my complete dissociation and disengagement from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”

Ibori-Suenu explained that her resignation was due to her complete exclusion by the State chapter of the party and the ongoing national leadership crisis, which has divided the party into implacable camps.
