The National Publicity Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Princess Marian Tolofari, has announced her resignation from the party.
The resignation which she announced through a letter made available to newsmen takes immediate effect.
The letter also announced her defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The statement read in part; “This to inform the general public and the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) of my resignation from my position as the National Publicity Secretary of the SDP and my exit from the party.
“This resignation and defection is with immediate effect.”
She said her resignation followed many months of consultation with her political leader and Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Chibuike Ameachi, and other associates “on the need to return to the political tree and family for which I have been associated for many years in Rivers State in particular and in the country.
“My pursuits in the SDP had been useful but alienated me from my grassroots political movement.
“I wish to thank all those I have associated with in the SDP and wish the party well.”
