Ikechukwu Ezeugwu, a former leader of the Enugu State House of Assembly, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, claiming the party prioritizes “mediocrity and deceit” over merit.
Ezeugwu claimed in his letter of resignation that the party leadership had compromised the party’s principles and cited internal dissatisfaction with the party’s activities.
Merit was regularly offered as a sacrifice on the altar of dishonesty and mediocrity.
Ezeugwu’s resignation letter to the PDP Ward Chairman in Udenu Local Government Area stated, “I believe that trust is a basic component of any relationship, and without it, relationships can become challenging to maintain.”
Professor Victor Nnam, the former Enugu State Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development, criticized Ezeugwu in response to his resignation, calling him a hypocrite and asking why he only spoke out after he left office.
He is not to be taken seriously; he is merely a sycophant. If not, why is he now complaining? Why hasn’t he told anyone since 2022? “Nam said.”
Nnam also challenged Ezeugwu’s legislative record, highlighting that during his 12-year tenure in the Enugu State House of Assembly, his constituency projects were limited to the construction of just two bus stops in Udenu Local Government Area.
“As a former leader of the state assembly, what was his track record?” Nnam asked.
“So a third-term House member needs to be deceived before he can empower his own people? That’s laughable,” Nnam responded to Ezeugwu’s claim that the PDP deceived him into undertaking constituency projects.
Nnam further accused Ezeugwu of personal frustration, saying, “His recent resignation from the PDP is driven by personal frustration after being denied a fourth term in the House, an ambition that would have extended his stay to 16 years.”
Ezeugwu represented Udenu Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly from 2011 to 2023 and served as the Assembly Leader from 2015 to 2023. Source=Punch news
