ABIA @ 30: Oriaku Charges Abians To People's Government In 2023

The immediate past commissioner of finance in Abia State, Mr. Obinna Oriaku has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). 

Oriaku in a letter he personally signed and submitted to the PDP chairman, Mbutu Ukwu Ward 3, Isiala Ngwa South, Owerrinta, said that he is consulting widely on his political moves. 

The ex-commissioner in the letter titled: Resignation of My membership of the PDP said that he decided to leave the PDP because PDP in Abia State, as presently constituted, covertly and overtly, lacks the basic structural integrity to deliver the much talked about good governance as dividends of democracy to Abians.

Oriaku who was Finance Commissioner between 2015-2019 in his words, said “My political odyssey in recent times has been enriched by the most historic events as well as challenging experiences.

“My basic knowledge of Building Engineering tells me that when a building fails an integrity test few interventions could subsist: reinforce or demolish.

“But in the case of Abia PDP, the acclaimed owners would not allow for a reinforcement, let alone demolition.
