Ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, the ranks of the state chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) further dwindled Monday as Mr. Charles Idahosa, a former Senior Political Adviser to immediate past governor of Edo State, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, announced his registration from the party.

In a letter dated April 29, 2004 and addressed to the chairman, PDP, Ward 1, Ehor, Uhunmwode Local Government Area, Mr. Idahosa, affectionately called Charlie Temple by his supporters, wrote that he was formally announcing his decision to resign from both the PDP and his role as a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT).

The resignation of Mr. Idahosa comes on the heels of the recent defection of eight former council chairmen from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defectors included John Osi Akhigbe, former Etsako Central Local Government chairman; Dr. Josie Ogedegbe, Igueben; Mr  Frank Ilaboya, Owan West; Mr. Andrew Osigwe, Owan East; Mr. Napoleon Agbama, Uhunmwonde; Scott Ogbemudia, Ovia North East; Mr. Austin Okoibhole, Esan North East; and Mrs. Ruth Osahor, Esan West.

However silent on his next move, Mr. Idahosa remarked that as a representative of the South South Nigerian, the decision came after considerable contemplation and reflection on his personal and political journey.

The top member of the main opposition party, who fell out with Governor Godwin Obaseki over the 2024 governorship ticket of the party, wrote that throughout his tenure within the PDP, he had been privileged to contribute to its vision and mission, adding: 

"However, after careful consideration. I believe it is time for me to pursue new paths and opportunities beyond the party's confines."

Titled Letter of Resignation, he further penned: "I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the PDP community support and camaraderie during my time of service. I remain committed to upholding the values and principles that have guided my political engagement thus far. I look forward to new avenues of growth and contribution, and I extend my best wishes to the PDP as it continues its important work."
