While Chief Faith Majemite, a prominent founding member of the PDP has resigned her membership of the party, former governorship aspirant of the APC in the state, Chief Osiobe Okotie has defected to the PDP.

Majemite, a former chairman of Ethiope East local government area, in Delta State, stated this in a letter to the chairman of the party in the local government area, Hon. Felix Erhimedafe and copied the state party chairman, LG executive chairman and ward 6 chairman.

According to her, she left the party due to leadership impunity and hostile plots against her.
