Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Enugu-North Senator, Chukwuka Utazi, has explained why he resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Utazi explained that he dumped the PDP because the \u201cideals that attracted him to the party have receded into oblivion\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Senator, who represented the district between 2015 and 2023, submitted his resignation letter to the Chairman of PDP in Nkpologu Ward of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of the state, Chief Robert Ezeagu, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The letter reads: \u201cIt is with reservation that I resign my membership of the People\u2019s Democratic Party, which I had the privilege of being a foundation member at its inception in 1998.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason being that those ideals that attracted me to the party have since receded into oblivion, leaving me with no option but to leave and find another party that will afford me ample opportunity to operate maximally and contribute to national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am therefore wishing you all well as you continue to work hard to eke out a living in the best way possible under the present circumstances. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
