NOTICE OF MY RESIGNATION FROM THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) AND MY SUBSEQUENT MEMBERSHIP OF LABOUR PARTY.

I write to formally inform Mr. Speaker and my fellow honourable members of my resignation from Peoples Democratic Party and my movement to Labour party as a member.

Permit me also to attach to this notice, a copy of my resignation letter dated 12th of March 2025 which was received and endorsed by the chairman of PDP in my ward the same day. The reasons for my resignation are as stated in the letter, mainly predicated on the deep division and polarisation in the party from National to state levels.

After due consultation with my constituents, and in recognition of the sterling performance of our dear governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, I have picked up the membership of the Labour party and have now become a member of the Labour Party.

I therefore wish to be accorded recognitions going forward as a member of Labour Party.

Please accept the assurance of my highest esteem at all times for your office, your person and this noble and honourable House.

Yours Sincerely,

Hon. Lucky Udoka Nweke Johnson KJW Member Representing Isuikwuato State Constituency.
