Former minister of works and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Chief Mike Oziegbe Onolememen has left the party.
Onolememen sent a resignation letter to the chairman of the Edo state chapter of the PDP, Tony Aziegbemi, stating that he is no longer interested in being a party member.
Onolememen, who has been a founding member of the PDP since 1998, said his decision was because the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, has taken as his private property.
Part of the letter read:
“I write to formally inform you and the entire members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that I am resigning my membership from the party immediate effective.
“After carefully analysing the protracted conflict in the party and consulting with relevant stakeholders from my immediate constituency, political associates, friends and family, my decision was made.
“I want to use the opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of the journey since I joined the party in 1998.”
