In a shocking development that bewildered its members in Imo State, the Chairman of Social Democratic Party, SDP,Engr Augustine Okere has resigned from the Party.<\/p>\n
In a resignation letter sighted by TRUMPETA NEWSPAPER, the former Chairman, who doubled as the Senatorial Candidate of the Party for Imo East(Owerri Zone) said the decision was difficult “but became necessary following series of recent deliberate slights and actions by the National Leadership that undermine the authority of my Office”.<\/p>\n
Okere maintained that such treatment showed “utter disregard for my extensive personal and financial contributions to the growth and stability of SDP in Imo State”.<\/p>\n
Okere thanked the National Working Committee of the SDP for the opportunity given him to serve and wished them well.<\/p>\n
“I immensely thank all those who worked with me while I administered this Office” he said.<\/p>\n
Asked what is his next Political move, Okere who was a former Governorship Aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, said he was floating a Support Group with his teeming followers,but didn’t disclose which Political Plaform he will Support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
