Their resignation was disclosed in a letter addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Bende Local Government Area and copied to the Abia chairman and the Acting National chairman of the party.

The PDP ward executive members led by the chairman, Francis Eke Okoye, cited the activities and disorderliness in the national leadership of the party as the reason behind their action.
