2023: PDP BoT member resigns from party

Tamarauemi Ebimini

Alphonsus Nwosu, a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has resigned from the party.

Mr Nwosu, in a letter dated 12 January, said his resignation was because of the inability of the PDP to adhere to its rotation of presidency as provided for in the party’s constitution.

“This resignation for me is a matter of conscience and principle,” Mr Nwosu said.

The letter, which was addressed to the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, was copied to the party’s BoT Chairman, Adolphus Nwabara and the party’s chairman in Mr Nwosu’s ward.

“The journey to the rotational presidency between the north and south of Nigeria has been a long and arduous one and I have been involved.

“Nigeria and the PDP must learn to keep to an agreement reached by a constituent assembly (1995) and enshrined in the PDP’s constitution (1998),” he added.

Mr Nwosu, a professor, served as Nigeria’s minister of health during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, between 1999 and 2007.

The former PDP member did not indicate in his letter if he was joining another political party.

Mr Nwosu hails from Otolo, a community in the Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, South-east Nigeria.
