A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Chidoka said his resignation was to enable him take a break from politics and focus on his new responsibility at Athena Centre.
Athena Centre is non-profit organisation founded by the former minister and other interest individuals.
He announced his resignation from the opposition party on Friday during an appearance on Channels Television Politics Today.
According to him, “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.
“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.”
