“I am writing to formally resign my membership from the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect,” she stated.
She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to have contributed to the growth of the party and for being chosen as the deputy governorship candidate in the last general election.
“It was a privilege to be part of the PDP’s vision and engage with our people in meaningful ways. However, after much reflection in light of the current state of affairs within the party, I believe it is time for me to move on,” she said.
Ambrose-Amawhe noted that while the decision was difficult, she remains committed to serving her community and the nation in different ways.
“This decision was not made lightly, but I remain committed to serving my community and contributing to the progress of our state and nation in other capacities,” she added.
