A former Commissioner for Information and Orientation in Bayelsa State, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Reported The Nation.
Iworiso-Markson in a letter dated July 7 to the PDP chairman of Ward 11 in Ogbia Local Government Area, said he decided to quit the party because of unfair treatment.
Iworiso-Markson resignation came just as scores of stalwarts of the PDP in the state are said to have perfected plans to dump the party.
It was reliably learnt that the stalwarts would in the coming weeks leave the PDP in droves to pursue their aspirations in other parties.
Iworiso-Markson also said his decision was borne out of his desire to pursue his aspiration to offer quality representation to people of Ogbia Federal Constituency.
According to him, several weeks after the primaries which he took part in, there have not been any form of overtures by the leaders of the party, knowing fully well how aggrieved some of the aspirants were due to the process and outcome of the exercise.
He lamented that the shabby treatment he got was accompanied by series of blackmail to discredit him all in a bid to deny him the PDP ticket to contest the 2023 general election.
