From Tony Osauzo, Benin
Hon Charles Idahosa, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State and a member of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), has resigned his membership.
Idahosa announced his decision in a letter titled “Letter of Resignation,” addressed to the Chairman of Ehor Ward 1 of the party in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area of Edo State. The letter was also copied to the Chairman of the PDP’s BoT, South-South National Vice Chairman, the State Chairman, and the Uhunmwonde Local Government Chairman.
“I trust this letter finds you well. I am reaching out to formally announce my decision to resign from both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and my role as a member of the Board of Trustees (BOT). As a representative of the South-South Nigerian region, this decision comes after considerable contemplation and reflection on my personal and political journey,” the letter stated.
Idahosa expressed his gratitude for the support he received during his time with the PDP. “Throughout my tenure within the Peoples Democratic Party, I have been privileged to contribute to its vision and mission. However, after careful consideration, I believe it is time for me to pursue new paths and opportunities beyond the party’s confines,” he wrote.
He wished the PDP well in its future endeavours. “I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the PDP community for their unwavering support and camaraderie during my time of service. I remain committed to upholding the values and principles that have guided my political engagement thus far. I look forward to new avenues of growth and contribution, and I extend my best wishes to the Peoples Democratic Party as it continues its important work,” he concluded.
Hon Idahosa, a former Local Government Chairman and Political Adviser to ex-Governor Adams Oshiomhole, did not disclose his next political move.
