Former Minister of Aviation in the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Osita Chidoka has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Chidoka announced his resignation during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday night.

He disclosed that he had earlier today sent a letter to his ward chairman in Anambra State informing him of his decision to quit the PDP and active politics for now.

Chidoka, who was also the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), said he is leaving politics to focus on his non-profitable organisation, Athena Centre to join hands with other Nigerians who are interested in reforming the political system in Nigeria.

“Earlier today, I sent a letter to my ward in Anambra State resigning officially from the PDP. I am leaving the PDP, I am leaving politic for some time, I am focusing on the Athena Centre,” Chidoka said.

“I will work in concert with other Nigerians who want us to reform the political system to bring evidence-based governance and to support it. So, effective today, I am no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
