Battle For Edo – PDP Faces More Trouble As Top Grassroots Mobilizer Tunude Ajie Quits
In what seems like another major blow to the PDP, High Chief Tunude A. Ajie, a key grassroots mobilizer, has officially dumped the party. Ajie, who notably served as the Campaign Director General for Engr. Moses Omo-Ikirodah’s 2023 Federal House of Representatives bid, cited the ongoing internal crises within the PDP as his reason for quitting.
Ajie’s departure is particularly significant given his extensive service within the party. He has held several key positions, including Local Government Chairman of the PDP, Secretary to Etsako East Local Government Council, Chairman of the Protection of Government properties for Etsako East LGA, and Secretary to the Edo State Project Monitoring and Implementation Committee. His resignation follows closely on the heels of Omo-Ikirodah’s exit from the PDP just yesterday, fueling speculation about a potential coordinated shift towards the APC.
With the gubernatorial election fast approaching, this series of high-profile defections is raising questions about the stability of the PDP in Edo North. Observers are now wondering if this could mark the beginning of a larger exodus from the PDP, possibly leading to a significant realignment of political forces in the state. As whispers of a strategic movement towards the APC grow louder, the coming days could prove decisive in the battle for Edo.
