ADC Coalition: Ortom’s ally David Olofu resigns from PDP
David Olofu, the former commissioner for finance and budget (2015-2023) under former Governor Samuel Ortom, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Mr Olofu announced his resignation in a letter addressed to Edikwu Ward 2 Chairman, Apa LGA, on Wednesday.
He was the former chairman of the Forum of State Commissioners for Finance of Nigeria (2019–2023).
Mr Olofu said his decision to leave the party was to enable him to exercise his freedom of association as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I write to inform you of my decision to resign as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with effect from 30th June, 2025.
“This decision has become necessary as I move to exercise my right to freedom of association enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I have done this in the interest of Edikwu Ward 2, Apa Local Government Area, Benue South Senatorial District, and indeed Benue State,” he said.
Mr Olofu was a senior technical adviser to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (2023–2024).
Mr Olofu is currently the leader of the new coalition in Apa council.
