I can no longer play partisan politics in Nigeria – Olisa Metuh dumps PDP

Olisa Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dumped the party.

In a letter to the PDP’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, Metuh lamented the brand of politics in Nigeria.

He pointed out that he can no longer participate in partisan politics.

According to Metuh: “During my three weeks trip for medical and personal reasons, I came to the realisation that I can no longer play partisan politics in Nigeria.

“The reason for this decision is that from my experience and the nature of politics and development in Nigeria, I believe that I will contribute more to democracy and good governance in Nigeria by being non-partisan.

“In that regard, I write respectfully to formally inform you of my resignation from the PDP and cessation of partisan politics.

“In line with the constitution of the PDP, I have forwarded a copy of my resignation to my ward chairman.”
