Full text of Former Minister, Peter Godsday Orubebe' s resignation letter from the PDP.
Consequently, I am by this letter intimating you of my total withdrawal from all activities at the Ward, Local, State, and National levels of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
I am highly honoured and privileged to have been part of a political party that successfully transformed a pariah nation into one that commanded respect in the comity of nations.
When we lost the presidential election in 2015 in bewildering circumstances, to say the least, it was my belief that the party would use the opposition period to re-strategise with the aim of taking back power at the earliest opportunity.
However, the present situation in the party does not inspire confidence that the party is ready to regain power in 2023.
Against the mood of the nation and in complete disregard for the provisions of the party’s constitution, the party, threw the zoning of the presidency open, which created a situation that led to the emergence of a Northerner as the party’s Presidential flagbearer, thus making the two topmost positions in the party, after your emergence as the National Chairman, to be occupied by northerners, contrary to section 7.3(c) of the party’s constitution.
I salute and commend the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Nyesom Wike for his efforts and gallantry at the primaries. Posterity will be kind to him when the history of the party is written.
There are lots to be said, but out of respect for the party, I leave some stories untold at this time.
My belief in the sanctity of Nigeria is unshaken and I will continually work for her progress and development, even if it is through another route.
I thank you sir and I wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely,
Elder Godsday Peter Orubebe, CON
