The reason given for the defection according to the individual letters written to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, and read on the Floor of the House, was predicated on the division in the party with regards to the tussle for the position of the National Secretary of the PDP, which has made communications channel hazy and difficult.
They posited in their letters that the confusion surrounding the position of the National Secretary has generated plethora of court cases instituted by Members of the party in various courts which has sharply divided the party, and therefore can no longer continue to be in such a political party.
