A FORMER Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, has quit the Peoples Democratic Party.

Orubebe made this known in a letter today addressed to the party’s national chairman, Senator (Dr.) lyorchia Ayu.

The ex-minister said he took the decision because the opposition party is not ready to take over power from the All Progressives Congress in 2023.

The letter reads partly, “I write to formally inform you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP). This has been communicated to the Chairman of Burutu Ward 3, Burutu Local Government Area, Delta State, effective 20th June 2022.

“Consequently, I am by this letter intimating you of my total withdrawal from all activities at the Ward, Local, State and National levels of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).”
