A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Barrister Chioma Chinye has resigned his membership of the party.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Chinye who was the leader of the non-indigenes in Rivers State and former commissioner of Commerce and Industry under the Rotimi Amaechi administration had earlier transferred his membership of the party to Onicha-Ugbo ward in Anocha North Local Government of Delta State after the completion of his tenure in 2015.
Chinye in a letter addressed to the APC chairman in Delta State on Monday said having served the party from inception in 2014 to working assiduously to winning the presidency and several states of the federation in 2015 general elections, that the party seems carried by the success it was never prepared for.
Part of the letter reads: “From the inception in 2014, I zealously served the party believing that it was the vehicle through which positive change could be brought to the lives of the Nigerian people. After nearly three (3) years of the APC government, I have come to the unpalatable conclusion that the only way the APC can serve as that vehicle of much-desired change is for change to begin with APC itself.”
However, Chinye in the letter did not state his next line of action or the party he will defecting to.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that another bigwig of the party and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar also earlier resigned his membership and has since formally defected to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
The Delta State APC is however yet to react or comment on the resignation.
