The former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, has resigned from the party and quit partisan politics, saying he has decided to contribute to the nation’s building “without the hindrance of partisanship.”

In a letter addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Metuh said a copy of his resignation letter has been transmitted to his ward Chairman in line with the provision of the PDP Constitution.

Titled “Resignation from the PDP,” Metuh stated that his decision to quit the party was taken in the course of his recent medical trip abroad.

The letter read and I quote: “During my three weeks trip for medical and personal reasons, I came to the realization 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.
