Former Aviation Minister Chidoka Resigns From PDP, Gives Reason
Former Minister of Aviation Osita Chidoka has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing his desire to focus on his non-profit organization, the Athena Centre. This development was revealed during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday ¹.
Chidoka, who previously served as the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), expressed his commitment to working with like-minded Nigerians to reform the country’s political system and promote evidence-based governance.
In his words, “Earlier today, I sent a letter to my ward in Anambra State resigning officially from the PDP. I am leaving the PDP, I am leaving politics for some time, I am focusing on the Athena Centre.” This move marks a significant shift in Chidoka’s political career, as he seeks to channel his efforts towards promoting positive change through his non-profit organization.
It’s clear that Chidoka’s resignation from the PDP will have implications for the party’s dynamics, particularly in Anambra State. It will be interesting to see how this development unfolds and what impact it will have on the country’s political landscape.
EXCERPT
As I exit active partisan politics, my dedication to good governance, national unity, and transparent public service remains unwavering. I’m optimistic about the future, where I can contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s political landscape, driven by my core values.
I bid farewell to the PDP with immense gratitude and respect, wishing the party immense success in its quest to become a transformative force in Nigeria.
My lifelong vision remains unchanged: to build a nation where every individual is treated with dignity and respect. I’m hopeful that Nigeria will soon experience a rebirth, guided by the spirit of unity and shared aspirations for greatness.
I appreciate the opposition party’s leadership for providing me with the platform to serve Nigeria.
