Drama as PDP founding leader dumps party

Sen. Emma Nwaka, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State, announced his departure from the party on Thursday. In his resignation letter titled “Time for me to quit,” Nwaka explained that he had initially chosen to keep his decision private but felt compelled to make it public.

Nwaka stated that his decision to leave the PDP was not made lightly but was the result of careful consideration of his political journey. He expressed gratitude for his five years of leadership of the Abia State PDP, highlighting that his tenure brought significant stability, peace, and electoral successes. “I am grateful for the honour of piloting the affairs of the Abia State Chapter of the party for five years. I am really happy I served without a whiff of any scandal instead, the period under my watch brought to the party uncommon stability, peace, and a winning streak. The party won two governorship elections back-to-back, controlled the State House of Assembly, and won about all the seats in the National Assembly in two general elections,” he said.
