Ondo PDP leaders refused to accept their spokesman's resignation yesterday. The party chairman, Bakitta Bello, led officials to visit Kennedy Peretei at his home in Akure. They came after Peretei sent his resignation letter to his local ward office just two days earlier. He blamed selfish leadership for making him want to leave the political group.
Chairman Bello told Peretei that recent party problems weren't enough reason to quit. He acknowledged Peretei had every right to feel hurt but explained that many factors affect party decisions. The chairman called him a loyal member, which prompted their personal visit to ask him to change his mind. The leadership team firmly stated that they would not accept his resignation letter.
During the meeting, Peretei opened up about why he decided to leave. He expressed feeling deeply betrayed. The publicity secretary said he felt disappointed with certain respected individuals within the party. The leadership committee listened to his grievances carefully before making their appeal. They hope their intervention will convince him to remain with the PDP.
