Ighodalo: Okpebholo Resigns From Party

The Lead Spokesman of the Team Asue Media Organization (TAMO), Darlington Ray Okpebholo, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect.

TAMO was the campaign organization for Asue Ighodalo, the PDP’s former gubernatorial candidate for Edo State.

In a resignation letter dated July 17, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Chairman in Ward 5, Esan North East Local Government Area, Edo State, Okpebholo stated that his decision was prompted by the “hijack of the party by undemocratic forces.”

He further claimed that the PDP’s core principles have been “surrendered to undemocratic forces and personal interests, suffocating the hopes of young Nigerians.”

Okpebholo said; “I write to formally tender my resignation as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with immediate effect.

“Since joining the party in 1998, I have served diligently and in good conscience across various strategic platforms, as Lead Spokesman of the Team Asue Media Organization, Media Committee Member of the Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organization (2016), and later, the Godwin Obaseki Campaign Organization (2020).

“I was also honoured to serve as a member of the PDP Youth Mobilization Committee in 2019 and as the National Coordinator of the Think Naija Think Atiku Support Group.

“These roles saw me actively representing our candidates and party at different fora, campaign platforms, in newspapers, and on national television stations, even as a diaspora member committed to Nigeria’s democratic future.

“Throughout these assignments, I remained committed to the founding values of inclusion, internal democracy, and collective advancement that once defined the PDP.

“Sadly, the soul of the party has been surrendered to undemocratic forces and personal interests, suffocating the hopes of young Nigerians who once saw the PDP as a beacon of national redemption.

“As such, I find it morally and politically necessary to withdraw my membership and step away from a system that no longer reflects the aspirations of its people.

“I remain grateful to the PDP for the opportunities it afforded me to serve, lead, and grow, and I deeply cherish the relationships built over the years.

“I now turn to new possibilities, with firm belief that Nigeria deserves better.”
