ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Mark Onu, the Special Assistant to the Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi, on Youth Mobilization and Drug Control, has resigned.
He resigned on Friday from being a member of the Governor’s cabinet and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the State.
Onu, popularly known as ‘chopper,’ also declared his support for Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming 11 March, governorship election.
He stated this in a press conference in Abakaliki, the State capital, where he declared that he has fully rejoined the PDP family in the State.
Before his resignation, Onu was a member of the kitchen cabinet of Governor Umahi.
He told his teeming supporters, especially the youths, that he had to join the PDP because Dr Ifeanyi Odii is the best thing that can happen to Ebonyi State if he emerges as the Governor.
“We all know Anyi Chuks, and my conscience cannot forgive me if I cannot join other well-meaning Ebonyians, to bring this freshness and good news to Ndi Ebonyi,” He said.
