A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo state, Barr. Chieftain,Ken Imansuangbon, has resigned his membership of the party.
Imansuagbon, a popular education entreprenuere, has moved from the All Progressive Congress to PDP until his latest resignation from the PDP on Wednesday. He has been a governorship aspirant in both parties. He was a leading aspirant in the PDP again until the defection of the current Governor Godwin Obaseki, who was handed the ticket after his defection from the PDP.
The letter which was addressed to the PDP State Chairman in Edo, Mr Tony Aziegbemi, was copied to his Esan South-East Ward 2 and the local government council chairmen of the party.
It reads: “Since 2009 in what was tagged the ‘Ewohimi Declaration’ where I had joined the People’s Democratic Party, PDP has remained a memorable journey for me and I want to thank God almighty for his benevolence.
“The course of my political journey in the PDP had afforded me the opportunity to make great and wonderful friends and had shared great moments with which I will cherish for a lifetime. “However, the reality of the moment has made it decisive that there comes a time in a man’s life where he has to move ahead.
“Consequently, therefore I hereby tender my resignation of the membership of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP. Once again, I thank the entire leadership and body of the PDP.”
