NDC grassroot mobilizer, Ebitare dumps party one month after quitting APC

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a grassroot mobilizer for the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, in Bayelsa State, Sunday Ebitare Thompson, has resigned his membership of the party.

The resignation was contained in a letter dated June 27, 2026, and addressed to the NDC chairman, Ward 13, Shagbama Local Government Area of the Bayelsa State.

Ebitare had on May 17, 2026, dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, and moved to NDC alongside his supporters.

Although he did not state the reason for his resignation from the NDC, it may not be unconnected to the internal crisis that emanated from the party’s primary elections.

In the resignation letter sighted by MEDIA TODAY on Sunday, Ebitare wrote, “I hereby formerly resign and withdraw my membership from the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC effective immediately.

“I appreciate the opportunity to have been a part of the party and wish the NDC success in its future endeavors.”
