Senate Minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has resigned from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The senator, who recently withdrew from the PDP governorship primaries in Abia State, also resigned his position as Minority leader of the Red Chambers.
In the letter dated May 24, 2022, the Senator wrote, “This development is consequent upon the shameful display of illegality, impunity, and undemocratic decision of the party and after due consultations with my constituents”.
He said he would make his new political direction known in due course.
In a separate letter, Senator Abaribe notified Senate President Ahmed Lawan of his resignation from the PDP.
“This also means my resignation as Minority Leader of the Senate,” he said.
“I wish to thank you and my dear colleagues in the leadership of the Senate for the warm camaraderie we enjoyed while I was Minority Leader.”
