Fromn Pankshin, in a move that underscores the deepening cracks within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State, former Chairmanship Candidate for Pankshin Local Government Council, Koproda Charles Felix, has officially resigned his membership of the party.
In his resignation letter, Koproda cited the “festered state of the party” and the erosion of its “high-octane ideals” as reasons for his decision. According to him, self-interest and opportunism have taken precedence over collective progress within the PDP.
“I have watched with mounting agitation as self-interest, antagonistic interest, and opportunism pervaded the space and replaced positive enterprise,” he stated.
“There is, therefore, the need to reconstruct my political boundary going forward, aligning with precise and acceptable progress haystack of opportunities that abound.”
Koproda, who described himself as a “bit player in the affairs of the party within my generation,” noted that he had worked assiduously to contribute to the party’s growth. He expressed gratitude for the opportunities offered him by the PDP, including his candidacy for Pankshin LGC Chairmanship, his role as a National Delegate for the Presidential Primaries, and as a National Presidential Election Observer, among other ad-hoc responsibilities.
“Take my seamless transition of political alliance in good faith,” he concluded.
It is worthy of note that Koproda hails from the same local government area as Hon. Letep Dabang, a former Special Adviser on Political Affairs to the Plateau State Governor, who also resigned his appointment and defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The recent wave of defections from the PDP in Pankshin and other parts of the state continues to reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
