Senators Mathew Urhogide and Ayo Akinyelure, both members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have left the party.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, received two different letters containing the resignation notices, which were read aloud on Wednesday during the plenary session.
While Senator Akinyelure represents Ondo Central Senatorial District, Senator Urhogide represents Edo South Senatorial District in the red chamber.

Senator Urhogide stated in the letter that the PDP’s failure to resolve the internal power struggle was the reason for his resignation.
He said, “I am resigning my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), effective immediately.
“This difficult decision arose out of the negative political energy emanating at the moment from the irreconcilable differences and squabbles within the PDP at the national level and especially in my dear state, Edo State.
“These squabbles have spiked to levels that have made it impossible for someone like me who is a confirmed democrat to function and grow as I envisioned in my political journey.
