Osita Chidoka, a former Aviation Minister, made a significant announcement during his appearance on Channels Television's "Politics Today". He declared his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking a significant departure from his political career.
Chidoka cited his desire to leave politics and focus on his non-profit organization, Athena Centre, as the reason for his resignation. Athena Centre aims to reform the political system in Nigeria and promote democratic values.
During the same appearance, Chidoka presented a report by Athena Centre, which critically examined the recently concluded governorship election in Edo State. The report alleged substantial evidence of systemic rigging, sparking controversy and raising concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
Chidoka's resignation and the report's findings have generated significant attention, with many Nigerians weighing in on the implications for the country's political landscape. As Chidoka shifts his focus to Athena Centre, it remains to be seen how his efforts will impact Nigeria's political reform efforts.
