The aide who claimed that he has come ‘to the realization that it will serve no meaningful political interest to remain in APC for a day longer,’ further insisted that he does ‘not want to be counted as one of those who supported the regime that emasculated and destroyed the future of our youths’ in both Imo State and Nigeria.
Nwachukwu is a former member of the Federal House Representatives, where he represented Okigwe South Federal constituency comprising; Ehime Mbano, Ihitte Uboma and Obowo local government areas, between 2007 to 2011.
His resignation letter was addressed to his Ikpe-Nsu ward chairman of APC in Ehime Mbano local government area of Imo Sate, and dated November 11, 2021, nut made available to the media, Monday.
In the letter, Nwachukwu expressed his displeasure with both the State Government and the Federal Government, stating that both levels of government cannot guarantee the future of the youth.
“With utmost humility, I wish to write you about my decision to resign as a member of APC henceforth. After due consultations with my family and political Allies, I have come to the realization that it will serve no meaningful political interest to remain in APC for a day longer.
“ It will therefore, amount to political suicide for me, a former member of the National Assembly to continue to follow a political pathway that will define my political doom with no foreseeable political advantage in terms of infrastructural development and empowerment of my people.
“It is no longer a secret that the current political reality in Imo State and by Extension Nigeria cannot guarantee the future of our teeming youths. And I do not want to be counted as one of those who supported the regime that emasculated and destroyed the future of our youths.
“I therefore, tender my resignation as a member of APC from today,” the letter which also copied the APC Chairman in Imo State, read.
