A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the South-South representative in the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the party, Hon Charles Idahosa has resigned his membership of the party.

Though he said the reason for his resignation was to seek new paths and opportunities beyond the party, he had since fallen out with Governor Godwin Obaseki and has publicly expressed his reservation about the style of the governor accusing him of abandoning all those who worked for his re-election in 2020.

Idahosa was among the first who publicly opposed the disqualification of Obaseki by the All Progressives Congress (APC) which made him fall out with the former governor of the state and the then National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. He was a Political Adviser to Oshiomhole for the eight years he was governor. He left with Gov Obaseki from the APC to the PDP.

In a letter addressed to his Ward 1 Ehor in Uhunmwode local government chairman and copied to the Chairman PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), South-South National Vice Chairman, Edo State PDP Chairman and PDP Chairman, Uhunmwode Local Government area dated April 29th 2024, Idahosa said “I trust this letter finds you well. I am reaching out to formally announce my decision to resign from both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and my role as a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT). As a representative of the South-South Nigerian region, this decision comes after considerable contemplation and reflection on my personal and political journey.

“Throughout my tenure within the Peoples Democratic Party, I have been privileged to contribute to its vision and mission. However, after careful consideration, I believe it is time for me to pursue new paths and opportunities beyond the party’s confines.

“I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the PDP community for their unwavering support and camaraderie during my time of service.

“I remain committed to upholding the values and principles that have guided my political engagement thus far. I look forward to new avenues of growth and contribution, and I extend my best wishes to the Peoples Democratic Party as it continues its important work.”
