Ondo PDP chairman resigns

There are indications that some aggrieved members of the
Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State may dump
the party following the resignation of the state party
chairman, Mr. Ebenezer Alabi.
Alabi resigned his position on Friday morning. Reports
said Alabi’s resignation was due to pressure from the
presidency and the party’s bigwigs in Abuja.
Another source said the chairman’s resignation was due to
the crisis in the party in the state following the defection of
the state governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, from the
Labour Party to the PDP.
The report added that the move was to ensure that the
camp of the governor had a hold of the party’s structure.
The party executive had been reconstituted following a
dissolution ordered by the National Working Committee of
the party.
