The contentious decision of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to elect Atiku Abubakar, a Northerner, as its presidential candidate, has continued to create issures within the ranks ahead of the 2023 elections.
The latest stakeholder to tender his resignation over the party’s alleged refusal to adhere to its zoning principle is Prof A.B.C Nwosu.
Prof Nwosu, who is a member of the party’s Board of Trustees, tendered his resignation via a letter dated Thursday, January 12, and addressed to the BoT Chairman, Adolphus Wabara.
The letter revealed that Prof Nwosu’s resignation was hinged on conscience and the party’s refusal to obey its enshrined constitution on zoning.
It reads, “I hereby resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party and its Board of Trustees with effect from today THURSDAY 12th JANUARY 2023.
“This resignation for me is a matter of CONSCIENCE and PRINCIPLE because of the Party’s inability to adhere to the ROTATION provision in its (PDP) Constitution
