The Assistant State Woman Leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Cross River South Senatorial District, Margaret Okon, has announced her resignation from the party.

Okon made the announcement in a letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of Edem Odo Ward, Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State.

This comes barely 48 hours after the resignation of the party’s 2024 deputy governorship candidate, Emana Amawhe.

In the letter, Okon reflected on her journey and the experiences gained during her time with the PDP, serving as executive member, councillor, and most recently as a member of the state executive council and assistant state women leader for the South.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to have served the party in various capacities, from being a Ward Exco member to serving as a Councillor, and most recently, as a member of the State Executive Council/ Assistant State Woman Leader, South; a position I have held until today. These experiences have been invaluable, and I deeply appreciate the trust and support I received throughout my journey,” she said.

“The insights and lessons I have gained during my time in the PDP will undoubtedly play an instrumental role in shaping my future endeavors. As I take this step forward, I remain committed to the service of my community and the pursuit of progress for our people.”
