2027: Former Senate President David Mark resigns from PDP, bags ADC position
David Mark, the former Senate President has formally resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
David Mark who is a founding member of the PDP, resigned from the PDP following his appointment as one of the interim leaders of the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In an statement signed by him and dated June 27, the former Senate President stated that the PDP’s leadership issue was the primary cause of his resignation.
According to David Mark, the PDP has become a shell of its former self and is now the target of public mockery due to its irreconcilable disagreements.
The statement read: “I bring warm greetings to you and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Otukpo Ward 1, and by extension, to the entire Benue State and Nigeria. I write to formally inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the party with immediate effect.
“You may recall that over the years, I have remained firm and deeply committed to the ideals of the PDP. Even when nearly all stakeholders departed the party following our loss in the 2015 presidential election, I pledged to remain the last man standing.
“I have worked steadfastly to rebuild, reconcile, and reposition the party, efforts which, without sounding immodest, helped restore the PDP to national relevance and made it once again a party of choice for many Nigerians.
“However, recent events marked by deepening divisions, persistent leadership crisis, and irreconcilable differences have reduced the party to a shadow of its former self, subjecting it to public ridicule.
“After wide consultations with my family, friends, and political associates, I have resolved to join the National Coalition of Political Opposition Movement in Nigeria, as part of the collective effort to rescue our nation and preserve our hard-earned democracy.
Meanwhile, in preparation for the 2027 election, the alliance declared on Tuesday that it has chosen to use the ADC, an established political party, as the platform for its political operations.
