A Former minister of state for FCT Chief Chuka Odom has resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party
Udom, a gubernatorial aspirant in state in 2015 on the platform of the party has served as Commissioner for Special Duties between 2003 – 2007, in Abia State, Federal Minister of State for Environment, Housing and Urban Development from December 2007 to May 2009 and then Minister of state for FCT (Federal Capital Territory, Abuja), a post he held until October 2010.
In a letter signed and sent to (PDP) Okwu, Ugirike/Eziama Ward Ikeduru LGA Imo State Udom said his decision is informed by two considerations.
“First and more importantly, I am convinced that the party is no longer in a position to offer Nigerians a credible and robust opposition to the ruling party which role is critical to the survival of democracy in our country.
” On a personal note I want to take a break from partisan politics to focus on other pursuits dear to me. I will however continue to engage with progressive elements in our collective search for genuine participatory democracy in Nigeria through electoral reforms.”
“I wish you and the leadership of the party success in the direction the party is headed.”
Accept the assurances of my highest esteem.
