Samben Nwosu, a prominent leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, has officially resigned his membership from the party.
Gists9ja reports that Nwosu, a foundation member of the PDP, made his decision known in a resignation letter addressed to the Otolo Ward I, Nnewi secretariat, which was shared with the press in Awka on Friday.
In his letter, Nwosu explained that recent events within the party had led him to reconsider his position, despite his longstanding dedication to the party’s ideals of promoting democracy. He pointed out that there had been a shift within the party, particularly regarding unfair treatment and orchestrated efforts by certain political figures to embarrass him.
Nwosu specifically mentioned an incident involving the signing of a suspension letter by an unidentified faction of the party, which he claimed occurred without due process or proper notification. He described the experience as one of the key factors that prompted his resignation.
Reflection on the Upcoming Election
Looking ahead to the next senatorial election rerun, Nwosu emphasized the importance of a prepared mind over a monetized one, highlighting his belief that integrity and readiness are more valuable than financial influence in the political process.
In his letter, Nwosu stated, “The next senatorial election rerun is an opportunity to showcase to the people that a prepared mind is better than a monetized mind, and hence, my resignation.”
Nwosu, who had previously served as a Federal Commissioner at the Public Complaints Commission, expressed that his decision to leave the PDP was not an easy one. His resignation marks a significant development in Anambra’s political landscape, particularly as the state prepares for upcoming elections.
