The former member of Ebonyi State Assembly,
who represented Ezza South State Constituency between 2011 to 2023, announced
his resignation in a letter dated June 8, 2024, forwarded to his Ward chairman.
The Ebonyi State PDP has been in serious
crisis which affected its chances during the 2023 general election.
After the election, many chieftains of the
party defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
However, as peace was being expected in the
party, the National Working Committee, NWC, appointed a caretaker committee to
run the party’s affairs.
This caused a fresh crisis, with many
bigwigs angrily rejecting the decision and threatening to dump the party.
Usulor, in the letter, said the decision to
quit the PDP was due to the crisis which led to factionalisation of the party.
He recalled that he had last month issued a
one week ultimatum to the national leadership of the party to wade into the
crisis and correct the anomalies in the state chapter, which was not heeded.
According to him, the national leadership
had worsened the crisis in the party by appointing known members of other
political parties into the state caretaker committee, a decision that did not
go down well with stakeholders in the state.
He said he took the decision to resign from
the party after due consultation with his followers, supporters, and
well-wishers.
The former lawmaker said it will serve no
meaningful political interest for himself, political associates and supporters
to stay in a sinking party.
“As an individual, I have made my modest
contribution by working for the growth and development of PDP,” he said.
The party, he also noted, has equally
contributed positively towards the growth of his political fortunes culminating
in his representing his constituency for three terms at the State Assembly.
“That is something I will always cherish. I
do hope that this my resignation will be accepted in good faith by you and
other members of the party.
“I will remain forever grateful to the party
and her leaders from the ward, LGA, state, zonal to national level but it is
time to quit,” he said.
Usulor, son of Late Senator Usulor, further
noted that his resignation will enable him explore other options that may
accommodate his political aspirations and that of his associates and teeming
supporters.
On his future political plans, the former
lawmaker noted that he will make his decision known after due consultation with
his immediate family, political followers and associates.
