NDC SUFFERS SETBACK IN DELTA STATE AS ORETTE RESIGNS

A prominent Nigerian American medicine physician, Dr. Austin Orette, has officially resigned from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

‘’I hereby tender my resignation from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) with immediate effect’’

Oorette in a resignation letter dated May 28, 2026, said his decision followed careful reflection on his political future.

‘’The decision has become necessary due to personal reasons and a deep reflection on my political journey and future direction’’

The letter routed through the secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) expressed gratitude to the leadership of NDC for the opportunity and support he enjoyed during his time in the party.

‘’I sincerely appreciate the opportunity given to me by the party to serve as an aspirant for the Delta South Senatorial District. I am grateful for the support, encouragement and relationships built during my time in the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). I wish the NDC and all its leaders, members and supporters’ success in their endeavours for a greater Nigeria’’

Orette in May 2026 vowed to expose the wrongdoing of NDC national leadership in court.

Political observers believe Orette’s resignation could be a major setback for the party in Delta State.
