Ex-APC National Secretary, Akpanudoedehe, dumps party

The immediate past National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, has dumped the party.

Akpanudoedehe announced his resignation from the APC via a letter dated June 4, 2022, and addressed to the Ward Chairman of the party in Offot Ward 6, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

A copy of the letter obtained by The Star on Monday was titled, ‘Resignation of my membership of the All Progressives Congress’.

The former APC National Secretary cited the obduracy of the party in handling the candidates’ selection processes in Akwa Ibom State as the reason for dumping the ruling party.

He stated: “I write to notify you of my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), forthwith.

“Henceforth, I cease to be a member of the APC in my ward (ward 6 in Uyo LGA) or anywhere for that matter, I hereby relinquish all rights which inured to me as a member of the APC, member of the National Advisory Council and member of National Caucus of the APC.

“This decision to part ways with the APC is a tough one, but leadership entails adherence to the wishes of the vast majority of associates, allies and supporters who have shown fidelity overtime and have now witnessed the obduracy of the APC in handling the candidates selection processes in Akwa Ibom State.

“Our greater goal of providing service to the people of our dear state remains sacrosanct,” Akpanudoedehe said.
