Former PDP Publicity Secretary resigns
On Wednesday, the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, resigned from the party and quit partisan politics, citing the need to contribute to the nation’s building without the hindrance of partisanship.
In a letter dated October 25, 2022, addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Metuh said a copy of his resignation letter had been transmitted to his ward chairman in line with the provision of the PDP Constitution.
Titled “Resignation from the PDP,” Metuh stated that his decision was taken during his recent medical trip abroad.
The letter read: “During my three weeks’ trips for medical and personal reasons, I realised that I could no longer play partisan politics in Nigeria.
“The reason for this decision is that from my experience and the nature of politics and development in Nigeria, I believe I will contribute more to democracy and good governance in Nigeria by being non-partisan.
“Being non-partisan gives me the status to work for the strategic interest and well-being of the Nigerian people without the hindrance of partisanship.
“In that regard, I write respectfully to inform you of my resignation from the PDP and cessation from partisan politics.
“I have duly enjoyed my membership of the PDP and remain proud of being the longest-elected member of the National Executive Committee, one who won election to serve in several national positions at six consecutive National Convention of the party.
“I will cherish the values and ideals learned from the founding fathers at the inception of our nascent democracy.
“Any future participation in politics will only be limited to non-partisan involvements in areas of sustaining and deepening democracy and governance in Nigerian and at the global level.
“I pray you continue to insist on issue-based engagement in our political space, as the country cannot afford the bitterness and divisions that may arise otherwise.
“In line with the constitution of the PDP, I have forwarded a copy of my resignation to my ward chairman.”
