Chukwuka Utazi, the former Senator of Enugu-North, has clarified the reasons behind his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Utazi stated that he chose to leave the PDP because the core principles that initially drew him to the party have faded into obscurity.
The Senator, who served the district from 2015 to 2023, formally tendered his resignation letter to Chief Robert Ezeagu, the Chairman of the PDP in Nkpologu Ward, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of the state, on a Sunday.
The letter reads: “It is with reservation that I resign my membership of the People’s Democratic Party, which I had the privilege of being a foundation member at its inception in 1998.
“The reason being that those ideals that attracted me to the party have since receded into oblivion, leaving me with no option but to leave and find another party that will afford me ample opportunity to operate maximally and contribute to national development.
“I am therefore wishing you all well as you continue to work hard to eke out a living in the best way possible under the present circumstances. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation so far.”
