The Minority leader of the Senate, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Senator Abribe made his decision known in a letter to the Ward Chairman of the PDP in his ward, Ward 5, Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.
In the letter dated May 24, 2022, the Senator wrote, “This development is consequent upon the shameful display of illegality, impunity, and undemocratic decision of the party and after due consultations with my constituents”.
Concerning his next move, Abaribe would be vying for the Abia South senatorial seat under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
In a separate letter, Senator Abaribe notified Senate President Ahmed Lawan of his resignation from the PDP.
“This also means my resignation as Minority Leader of the Senate,” he 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.”
His resignation is his latest move following his bowing out of the Abia State PDP governorship race which was held on Wednesday.
