Imansuangbon dumps PDP, silent on new political party

Former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ken Imansuangbon, yesterday, resigned his membership of the opposition party.
In a statement he personally endorsed and copied the Edo State PDP Chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, among other party chiefs, Imansuangbon failed to give reasons for leaving the party.
 

The former PDP leader thanked the leadership of the party, describing his experience in the party as memorable. Imansuangbon, in the four paragraph letter, stated: “Since 2009, in what was tagged the Ewohimi Declaration, where I joined the PDP, it 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 share great moments 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 from the membership of the PDP. Once again, I thank the entire leadership and body of the PDP.”

Recall that Imansuangbon joined the governorship race since 2007 having worked assiduously for the PDP and later the Grace Group, the PDP faction that thereafter metamorphosed into Action Congress (AC) and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and later All Progressives Congress (APC).

Imansuagbon had consistently contested for governorship position and had always been prevailed upon to step down, which he accepted in deference to the party. Political pundits are of the view that Imansuangbon having dumped the PDP may join either the ruling APC or the fast-rising Labour Party (LP).
