The politician who thanked the party leadership for the opportunity to serve as its spokesperson for four years, did not disclose the reason for his resignation.

The two-paragraph letter reads in part , “With honour, I, Damian Opara ,the state Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party ,Imo State chapter, with due respect resign as the State Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Imo State chapter with immediate effect.

“I thank the party for the opportunity given to me to serve as the Imo State chapter Publicity Secretary.”

Though he didn’t disclose his next political move, his allies said he had joined the All Progressives Congress.

One of the aides of the state governor, Modestus Nwamkpa, said Opara had joined the APC.

He said, “The state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon Damian Opara, has resigned. He is now a son of APC.”
