Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The politician addressed his membership resignation letter to the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, with marked copy forwarded to his ward 2 Chairman in Ewohimi, Esan South-East Local Government Area of the state.
The lawyer and educationist, had in the past sought the governorship seat of the state through the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Imansuangbon, in his letter, noted that the LP had continued to be bugged down by intractable division, and had deviated from its core value and principle.
He added that the party could no longer offer purposeful and credible alternative to the Nigerian people as those in charge of the party ran the party like a “commercial entity.”
The former governorship aspirant posited that the development in the party clearly showed that the LP could not be said to be the party that truly represents the interest of the “mama, papa, pikin slogan.”
Imansuangbon said that as a Nigerian and Edo State citizen who had contributed in building generation of leaders over the last 25 years and helped the needy through his philanthropic activities, the time had come for him to disassociate himself “from the confusion and high-handedness of those in charge.”
This was just as he accused the party of imposition and clear disregard for party rules and regulations.
“Having consulted widely among my teaming supporters across the state it is only expedient for me and my followers to resign from the party.
“It is quite clear that the LP has not learnt any lesson and very obvious that it is not ready to enthrone purposeful leadership at all level.
“What we have witnessed in the party is intra-party squabble and power struggle creating a toxic environment making it difficult for members to remain committed to the party.
“What we have witnessed as far as am concern is poor Leadership and ineffective management, lack of vision and autocratic decision making.
“If you take a critical look at the party today you discovered that many notable leaders who founded the party has left the political party.” Imansuangbon lamented.
