The conflict in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has continued to thicken as another prominent leader in the party have resigned.
The Assistant State Woman Leader, South, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Margaret Okon, officially resigned from the party.
Her resignation marks a significant change in the local political environment and contributes to the recent political changes in Cross River State that followed Amawhe’s departure.

Okon thanked the party for the experiences and opportunities she received while serving in a letter to the ward chairman of Edem Odo Ward in the Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State.
