In a brief but weighty resignation letter addressed to the PDP Ward 1 Chairman, Umuahia North LGA, Ochendo declared that his exit from the party takes immediate effect, marking a major political shift within the Abia PDP structure.
According to the former Governor, the decision to dump the PDP was reached after wide consultations with his family, allies, and political associates, suggesting internal realignments that may redefine political alliances ahead of the next election cycle.
Political observers say the exit of a figure as influential as Ochendo - a former Governor, Senator, and leader with a large loyal base is expected to trigger recalculations within PDP and across the Abia political scene.
