A former Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Matters and Social Events to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Waripamo-owei Dudafa, has formally announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Dudafa, who served as Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Matters and Social Events during Jonathan’s administration from 2010 to 2015, cited irreconcilable internal conflicts as the primary reason for his exit.
In a heartfelt letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Southern Opokuma/Ayibabiri Ward 8 in Kolokuma Opukuma Local Government Area, Dudafa expressed profound disappointment over the party’s “prolonged and unresolved disputes, particularly at the national level.”

He described the environment as one of “conflict that is no longer conducive to advancing the shared values and objectives we hold dear,” urging his supporters to follow him to the APC for a fresh start.
The letter read in part: “It is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party effective immediately. Throughout my time with the party, I have been deeply committed to our shared values and goals, and it has been an honour to work with so many dedicated individuals.
“While this decision has been difficult, I remain committed to serving the best interests of our people, motivated by my dedication to their welfare and progress.
“After careful reflection and consideration, I have decided to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), a platform I believe offers renewed hope, unity, and a stronger foundation to address the challenges facing our dear state.
To the members of the APC, Dudafa wrote, “I look forward to working alongside new colleagues who share this vision.”
