The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State has responded with strong words to the resignation of its former Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kennedy Peretei, condemning what it described as "vulgar and malicious" remarks made by the ex-official against the party.
In a statement signed by the Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Leye Igbabo, the party expressed disappointment over Peretei’s comments, describing them as lacking in decorum and respect, especially from someone who had greatly benefited from the PDP.
"While it is within the right of any person to belong to or exit any association freely, the vulgar description and desecration of PDP by Mr. Kennedy Peretei smacks of misguidance, malice and mischief," the statement read.
The PDP expressed bewilderment at what it termed the “hallucination” of Mr. Peretei, who, despite claiming the party was headed to the morgue, still aspired to become its chairman.
“Our Party finds it extremely amusing that someone who believes PDP is on life support would still desperately scheme to take over its leadership. This contradiction only reveals the true motive behind his resignation, a failed ambition,” Igbabo added.
The statement also reaffirmed the PDP's strength in Ondo State, insisting that the party remains vibrant and attractive to the electorate. It blamed the current administration under Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for what it described as “governance morbidity and worsening security”, adding that Ondo people are eager to correct their past electoral decisions.
“The Peoples Democratic Party is alive and bouncing in Ondo State. The increasing interest in its leadership is a testament to its growing popularity among the people,” Igbabo asserted.
The PDP concluded by urging individuals to accept the outcome of political processes, warning against unnecessary outbursts and false narratives driven by personal grievances.
Mr. Peretei had recently announced his resignation from the PDP, citing irreconcilable issues and accusing the party of internal decay, a position now fiercely contested by the party leadership.
