JUST IN: Former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka Resigns from PDP

Former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking a pause in his political career. The announcement was made during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.

Chidoka, who also previously served as the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), revealed that his decision to step away from politics is driven by a desire to focus on his non-profit organization, the Athena Centre. He expressed his intention to collaborate with other Nigerians committed to reforming the country’s political system.

“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 politics for some time. I am focusing on the Athena Centre,” Chidoka stated during the interview.

He emphasized his commitment to evidence-based governance and systemic reforms, adding, “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.”
