The Director-General of the Asue/Ogie Campaign Council, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, has stepped down from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Iduoriyekemwen disclosed his resignation in a correspondence dated July 17, 2025, directed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 5 in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area, Edo State, Andrew Esemuede.

In the correspondence, he conveyed appreciation to the organization for its contribution to his political and personal development but indicated internal difficulties at both the state and national tiers as the rationale for his departure.

“I am writing to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ward 5, Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area, Edo State,” the letter read.

“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.”

Iduoriyekemwen remarked that his departure was a meticulously contemplated action and not a hasty choice.

“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,” he stated.

Iduoriyekemwen expressed his current intention to concentrate on his family and personal business interests.
