JUST IN: Ex-Minister, Osita Chidoka resigns from PDP
A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Ostia Chidoka, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Osita disclosed this when he appeared on Channels Television on Friday.
He was a Minister during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan
The former Minister said he is stepping away from politics to dedicate his efforts to the Athena Centre, a non-profit organization he founded, aimed at collaborating with fellow Nigerians who are committed to reforming Nigeria’s political system.
“Earlier today, I sent a letter to my ward in Anambra State resigning officially from the PDP. I am leaving the PDP, I am leaving politics for some time, I am focusing on the Athena Centre,” Chidoka said on the programme.
“I will work in concert with other Nigerians who want us to reform the political system to bring evidence-based governance and to support it. So, effective today, I am no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party”, he said.
