Former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka Resigns from PDP
Osita Chidoka, former Minister of Aviation, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Chidoka announced his decision during an appearance on Channels Television on Friday, November 29, 2024. He revealed that his departure from the opposition party was motivated by a desire to focus on his non-profit organization, Athena Centre.
“Earlier today, I sent a letter to my ward in Anambra State resigning officially from the PDP. I am leaving the PDP; I am leaving politics for some time,” Chidoka stated.
He added, “I am focusing on the Athena Centre. I will work in concert with other Nigerians who want to reform the political system, bring evidence-based governance, and support it. Effective today, I am no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
Chidoka’s announcement marks his temporary exit from active politics as he shifts focus to advocacy and reform through his non-profit initiatives.
