Professor A.B.C. Nwosu, a former federal Minister of Health and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has resigned from the party and its Board of Trustees (BOT).
In a letter dated January 12, 2023, Nwosu informed the National Chairman of PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, of his decision to exit the party, which is effective immediately.
The party acknowledged the receipt of his resignation letter.
Nwosu cited non-adherence to the principle of rotation as his reason for leaving the PDP.
He was a founding member of the party and played significant roles in the affairs of the party at the National and Zonal levels.
“This resignation for me is a matter of CONSCIENCE and PRINCIPLE because of the party’s inability to adhere to the ROTATION provision in its (PDP) Constitution.
”The journey to the rotational presidency between the North and South of Nigeria has been a long and arduous one, and I have been involved. Nigeria and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must learn to keep to an agreement reached by a Constituent Assembly (1995) and enshrined in the party’s (PDP) Constitution (1998),” he said in the resignation letter.
