Enyinnaya Abaribe has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party. Abaribe also resigned his position as the minority leader of the party in the Senate.
Abaribe had yesterday during a meeting with stakeholders in Abia South cited reasons of illegality, impunity and hesitations in decision-making for his decision to dump the party.
The lawmaker in a letter addressed to the party’s ward Chairman, titled “Resignation of my membership from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,” read in part, “I write to inform you of my decision to resign as a member of (the) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“This development is consequent upon the shameful display of illegality, impunity and undemocratic decision of the party and after due consultations with my constituents.”
In another letter to Senator Lawan Ahmed and titled titled, “Notification of Resignation from the Membership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Senate,” read in part, “This is to notify you and my dear colleagues in the Senate that I have formally resigned my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party through my ward. This also means my resignation as (the) Minority Leader of the Senate.”
“I wish to thank you and my dear colleagues in the Leadership of the Senate for the warm camaraderie we enjoyed while I was Minority Leader.”
