Inalegwu Ejembi Adaje, a Benue State politician, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing the party’s departure from its founding democratic principles. Adaje, who was contesting the Ado, Okpokwu, and Ogbadibo Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, submitted his resignation letter on October 13, 2025. The letter, addressed to the Ward Chairman of the APC in Edumoga Ehaje, Okpokwu Local Government Area, explained that his decision came after careful consideration and consultations with stakeholders, associates, and leaders.
In the letter, Adaje emphasized his commitment to justice, accountability, and democratic values, which he believes the party no longer upholds. While expressing gratitude for the opportunities he received as a party member, he noted that he could not remain in a structure that has “lost touch with its original values.” He also thanked party leaders and colleagues for their support and cooperation during his tenure.
Adaje’s resignation, coming as he pursued a seat in the House of Representatives, may have implications for the APC’s prospects in the Ado, Okpokwu, and Ogbadibo Federal Constituency. His departure could affect the party’s support base in the area and is likely to attract attention across Benue State, where the APC remains a major political force. Observers and analysts will closely watch the party’s ability to retain members and maintain its ideological commitment. In light of Adaje’s exit, the APC will need to reassess its strategy and approach to preserve its membership and influence in the state.
