Former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh has dumped the party.
Sources said Mr Metuh dumped the party on Wednesday. His reason for leaving the party was not immediately clear but the sources said Mr Metuh resigned from the PDP to focus on other personal ventures.
His resignation from the party is another blow to the opposition party that has seen its ranks shrink ahead of a crucial presidential election that is critical to its survival.
Attempts to speak to Mr Metuh proved abortive as he did not respond to calls and texts messages to his phone.
