Former Senate President David Mark has formally quit the People’s Democratic Party to join the coalition being formed ahead of the 2027 general election.
Mark submitted his resignation letter to the PDP Chairman in his Otukpo Ward, Benue State on June 27.
According to him, he came to this decision due to the prolonged internal crisis in the party. He noted that he remained in the party after many stakeholders left the party following the loss in the 2015 president election.
The letter party read, “I bring warm greetings to you and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Otukpo Ward 1, and by extension, to the entire Benue State and Nigeria. I write to formally inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the party with immediate effect.
“You may recall that over the years, I have remained firm and deeply committed to the ideals of the PDP. Even when nearly all stakeholders departed the party following our loss in the 2015 presidential election, I pledged to remain the last man standing.”
He added that he tried rebuilding the party, but recent events had weakened and caused more division.
The former Senator was appointed as the interim national chairman of the ADC, the political party adopted by the opposition coalition on Tuesday
