The Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC in Obudu Urban Ward 1, Mr Godwin Ugbe, has resigned his membership from the party and as Chairman of the party in the ward.
In the resignation letter made available to TheLumineNews, and addressed to the Chapter Chairman of the APC Obudu Chapter, Mr Ugbe noted that “I wish to use this medium to thank you and your party (APC) for the opportunity given to me to serve as the ward chairman of Urban ward 1 APC, as the experience I have gathered over time cannot be quantified.
“Consequently, I wish to notify you of my resignation as member and ward chairman from your party (APC), with effect from today 10th January, 2024.
“My reason for this action is personal without any grudges as I wish you and your party a very fulfilling year ahead”.
The former ward chairman was seen with the membership card of the PDP
But sources close to the former APC ward chairman hinted that his resignation is connected to the fracas he had with the Chapter Chairman of the APC.
The chapter Chairman of APC had set up a committee to investigate an alleged misconduct of the former ward chairman.
In the report slighted by TheLumineNews, the committee acted in gross violation of the constitution and usurped the powers of the Local Government Working Committee LGWC, to suspend the former ward Chairman.
Reacting to the development, the former ward Chairman, alleged that the Chapter Chairman of APC, Mr Alpha Ublibli, informed him that the Commissioner for Sports Development, Hon Agnes Atsu, had instructed that he should be removed.
Mr Ugbe noted that “since the commissioner is the leader of APC in my ward, I won’t be able to contend with her, the best thing is for me is to resign my position and membership of their party.
“As I speak with you, I have left them. I registered in PDP yesterday and obtained my membership card. The PDP family in Urban Ward 1 will receive me today”.
