While declaring that the personal reasons led to the decision , he however thanked the PDP for the opportunities provided for him in his political career.<\/p>\n
Recall, Elder Abraham Amah, Abia State Chairman, Abia PDP in a release on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 described as curious\u2014and regrettably laughable\u2014that a man who occupied the corridors of power for twenty unbroken years under the PDP now seeks to rebrand himself by courting the Otti-led administration, with whispered ambitions of displacing the true labourers of that vineyard.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe leadership of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State has observed, with philosophical patience and classical restraint, the increasing frequency of calls and inquiries concerning the political whereabouts and affiliations of Rt. Hon. Ude Oko Chukwu, former Deputy Governor of Abia State and long-time beneficiary of PDP\u2019s generational goodwill.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the former Deputy Governor is constitutionally free to admire or even align with whomsoever he pleases, it is a matter of moral science and natural law that gratitude should be the bedrock of every political pilgrimage. It is therefore curious\u2014and regrettably laughable\u2014that a man who occupied the corridors of power for twenty unbroken years under the PDP now seeks to rebrand himself by courting the Otti-led administration, with whispered ambitions of displacing the true labourers of that vineyard.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet it be placed on the record that Rt. Hon. Ude Oko Chukwu was never in the trenches when the wind howled hardest. His recent political flirtations are not born of conviction but of calculated self-preservation\u2014a survivalist instinct dressed in the borrowed robes of loyalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not unaware that his current disposition is less about ideological realignment and more about a desperate attempt to position himself ahead of men like Chief Boudex Onuoha, Chief Umeh Kalu (SAN), and Hon. Nnamdi Iro Orji\u2014patriots who truly sowed in tears while others slept under the comfort of entitlement. To attempt to reap where he neither sowed nor watered is not politics; it is a tragicomedy of ego.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as the universal science of motion teaches: a pendulum that swings without restraint eventually exhausts itself. Our dear Rt. Hon. is free to dance where his spirit leads, but he must also be reminded that history neither forgets nor forgives opportunism masquerading as relevance.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo our loyal party members across the state, we urge you to remain calm, focused, and discerning. The leadership of the party is meticulously following these developments with clinical precision, and we are actively collating all intelligence related to these acts of political acrobatics.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this hour, we must remember that a party is not threatened by the departure of shadows. The PDP remains a tree of deep roots. And while branches may sway in the wind, the taproot of loyalty and truth remains immovable.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet those who choose expediency over principle remember: the stars that wander too far from their constellations are often mistaken for falling stars\u2014brilliant for a moment, forgotten forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remain steadfast. We remain PDP.
