Senate Minority Leader, Abaribe has dumped PDP For APGA.

 

 

Newsonline reports that a senator representing Abia South, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party.

This online news platform understands that Abaribe’s notice of resignation was contained in a letter he addressed to Senate President Ahmad Lawan. The move to quit the party came two days after he withdrew from the PDP governorship primary election in Abia state, southeast Nigeria.

While attributing his withdrawal from the race to “imaginary” delegates, the senator described the exercise as a “charade”.

 

“The implication for our party is grave and as such has put all ongoing primary exercises on quicksand,” he had said.

 

“I am known for standing firm in defence of my convictions for the right of all people to a free and fair democratic process.”

 

In the letter written to Lawan, Abaribe said his resignation means he has relinquished his position as minority leader in the upper legislative chamber.

 

“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 minority leader of the senate,” the lawmaker said.

 

“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.”
