Addressing Journalists in Owerri an Ex-Officio member of the party in the South East Chief Stanley Ekezie cited impunity and intimidation of members of the party in the state as reasons for leaving the peoples Democratic Party.
According to him, the party in the south east especially in Imo had been engrossed in a contrived prolonged crisis which the national leadership of the PDP had failed to resolve despite several representations on the issues.
Chief Ekezie also stated that the recent happenings at the national level of the PDP were indications that the erstwhile formidable party had failed to function as a strong opposition party.
While expressing gratitude to the party for giving them the opportunity to serve in different capacities the members who compromised some state officers and zonal executive members said they would make their next political move public in due course.
The former Chairman of the party in Okigwe zone Mrs. Amarachi Owuamanam alleged that the party was now being controlled by non members of the party adding that they could no longer condone it.
