UMUAHIA – Senator Theodore Orji, the former Governor of Abia State, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking a significant departure for a key figure in the party’s history in the state.
The resignation was announced in a letter addressed to the chairman of his ward in Umuahia on Saturday. Orji, who served as governor for two terms and later as a senator, cited “wide consultations with family and associates” as the reason for his decision.
His exit follows the defection of his wife and son, a former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2024. Orji’s resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the PDP, further depleting its ranks in the South-East region.
