Chukwuka Utazi, former Senator representing Enugu-North Senatorial District of Enugu State, has resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
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.
Ideals-Chukwuka Utazi said his decision to leave the party is rooted in the fading core values that initially attracted him to it.
The letter reads: “It is with reservation that I resign my membership of the People’s Democratic Party which I had the privilege of being a foundation member at its inception in 1998.
“The reason is 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.
“I 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.”
The former senator, however, kept his future political plans undisclosed.
Kanyi Daily recalls that the Nigerian Senate confirmed the appointment of Senator Philip Tenimu Aduda (FCT) as the new Minority Leader.
