Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his position as the Senate Minority Leader.

Abaribe, elected to the Senate in 2019 announced his resignation in two separate letters to his Ward Chairman and to the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, dated May 24 and May 26, 2022 respectively.

Abaribe in the letter to his former ward chairman said: “This development is consequent upon the shameful display of illegality, impunity and undemocratic decision of the party and after due consultations with my constituents.”

Abaribe who represents Abia South in the Senate  recently withdrew from contesting the governorship ticket of the PDP in the State.

“This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator,” he said.

“It has been a great honour to contribute to nation-building efforts through our party. Unfortunately, recent developments within our party make it practically impossible to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.

“Our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we each make profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment to rescuing Nigeria remains firm, even if the route differs.

“I wish to thank you personally for your graciousness and leadership. I wish you well and best of luck in the service of country.“
