Senator Emma Nwaka, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia state, has dumped the former ruling party.
In his resignation letter, which was made available to the press on Thursday, August 29, Nwaka said he had chosen to keep the decision private but was compelled to speak out.
Nwaka cited personal reasons for his departure from the PDP and revealed that his decision was made after careful consideration of his political trajectory.
As reported by The Punch, he, however, emphasized his desire to forge a new path moving forward.
However, the PDP expressed gratitude to Nwaka for his significant contributions over the years, acknowledging his role in stabilizing and leading the party in Abia state.
