Crisis Within PDP Cited as Reason for Defection by Prominent Party Member
Christian Nkwonta, a prominent member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has defected from the party, citing a crisis within the party as the reason for his departure. In a shocking move, Nkwonta, who was a key figure in the party, has joined the opposition, leaving many wondering what led to his sudden decision.
According to sources, Nkwonta’s decision to leave the PDP was a result of the party’s internal crisis, which has been brewing for some time. The crisis, which has been characterized by infighting and power struggles, has led to a breakdown in communication and cooperation within the party. Nkwonta, who was a vocal critic of the party’s leadership, had been at odds with the party’s chairman, who he accused of being corrupt and incompetent.
Nkwonta’s defection is seen as a major blow to the PDP, which has been struggling to regain its footing after a series of electoral defeats. The party has been plagued by internal divisions and corruption scandals, which have eroded its popularity and credibility. Nkwonta’s departure is likely to further destabilize the party and could potentially lead to a split.
The PDP has been facing a crisis of confidence, with many of its members questioning the party’s leadership and direction. The party’s chairman has been accused of being out of touch with the party’s grassroots and of prioritizing his own interests over those of the party. Nkwonta’s defection is likely to add to the party’s woes and could potentially lead to a loss of support among its members.
In a statement, Nkwonta said that he had made the decision to leave the PDP because he could no longer continue to be a part of a party that was plagued by corruption and infighting. He said that he was joining the opposition to help bring about change and to fight for the rights of the people.
The PDP has yet to comment on Nkwonta’s defection, but it is likely that the party will try to persuade him to return. However, it remains to be seen whether Nkwonta will be swayed by the party’s efforts or whether he will remain committed to his new party.
