A frontline Labour Party, LP chieftain, Ugwumba Chika Ishionwu has tendered his  resignation from the party citing lack of adherence to internal democracy and ethos consistent with democratic norms.


Dailyledger.com.ng reports that Ugwumba Ishionwu in a letter -  exclusively obtained by our Correspondent - addressed to the Ward Chairman of LP in Ikwuano LGA chapter of the party aired  grievances which pushed him out of the party:



"I am writing to formally resign from the Labour Party, LP effective immediately. I am resigning from the LP because my consistent efforts to communicate  concerns regarding internal democracy and rule of law in the party's administration have not been adequately considered or  addressed by the party leadership, from the LGA to the Ward level


"Furthermore, I believe that the current leadership setup of Ikwuano LP does not align with the "For Us By Us" principles that are crucial for the grassroots mobilisation, development and unity of our community. Given these circumstances, I find it necessary to resign my membership of the party", he stated in the letter.



Dailyledger.com.ng further reports that Ishionwu who also leads the For Us By Us,  FUBU Movement, a political mobilisation and pro good governance group is a dynamic figure in the youth wing of the Abia LP. His advocacy for more engagement with the grassroots and youths gradually led to his being sidelined in the affairs and activities of the party even in his Ward .


Ishionwu in a chat with our Correspondent assured that following his exit from LP, he is consulting with the people, and members of FUBU Movement and in due time appropriate political realignments would be brokered in the overall interest of the people.



"For me and the FUBU Movement, it's always people first, and our LG, Ikwuano sits atop our agenda. "FUBU remains unwavering in its commitment to its ideology, which transcends any political affiliation.


“I assure my supporters that my dedication to the FUBU principles remains firm,” Ishionwu affirmed.


“This movement is bigger than any single political membership, and our goal is to ensure true freedom and development for Ikwuano/Umuahia.”
