Her resignation from the party was contained in a letter dated May 21 to the chairman PDP Urban Ward 1, Umuahia.
The wife of former Governor Theodore Orji cited “personal reasons” for the decision to dump the party.
The letter reads in part: “I write to formally resign as a member of the PDP with effect from this day 21st of May 2024 for personal reasons.
“Thank you for your support during my tenure as the first lady of Abia and until date a strong supporter of the party.
“I wish you all the best.”
It is another high-profile defection that has hit the Abia chapter of the party in recently.
Former Abia Speaker Chinedum Orji announced his exit from the party.
He joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has since obtained his membership card.
The party lost power to Labour Party in the 2023 governorship election which produced a former bank executive, Dr. Alex Otti as winner.
