Former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Enyinnaya is the son of Theodore Orji, a former Governor of Abia State.

The ex-speaker briefed some of his close supporters on Monday night, saying the move had become very necessary.

“After careful consultation and personal decision, I have decided to exit the PDP. It’s time to move on with our lives,” he said.

The resignation is coming shortly after Chris Nwagboso, a former Deputy Chief of Staff (office of the Deputy Governor), in Abia State, resigned his membership of the PDP.
