At a time where EZEMA is striving to promote freedom, justice and equality;I feel that it is not a good opportunity for me to resign voluntarily. I was in the political arena at a time when corrupt and pro-party parties, such as the Prosperity Party, were being formed.
I’m sorry. The decision to resign from the party was not based solely on personal opinion and views; I believe it stems from a political decision and an internal decision not to sell my conscience. I do not want to hide the fact that I have experienced some grievances during my time as a member of the party, but this does not cast a negative light on my political balance and stability.
The decision to leave the party should not be seen as an attempt to avoid confrontation with reality, especially to escape the current challenges facing the party. On the contrary, it should be noted that it was an inappropriate decision by the two parties’ agreement or partnership that allowed Ezema & Prosperity to not openly criticize and challenge the party.
It is unfortunate that Ezema, as an opposition party, has lost the line by sticking with the ruling party instead of fulfilling its promise to the people and its main purpose. It is well known that I, as a party leader and a member of the party, have repeatedly tried my best to make the necessary adjustments, saying that the party has failed in its formal and informal forums. Nevertheless, Instead of correcting the mistakes of the ruling party and building its own capacity for a meaningful and fundamental political struggle, instead of criticizing me and other members and supporters, the party has chosen to cling to the borrowing power of the ruling party and not to the people.
A competing political party that has shaped its own political line and is seeking to change the country by winning the election with the support and support of its people. I do not know how logical it would be to change direction in the middle of the road and side with a party that does not seem to be the same.
Instead of asking itself why it lost the election and correcting its mistakes, treating its weaknesses and strengthening itself, Ezema chose to remain a sticker for the ruling party instead of buying a new era of political struggle. I do not believe that the ruling party is backing from the devastating effects of ethnic federalism and sacrificing its power to side with the national political structure, which is good for Ezema itself, the country’s politics and the future of Ethiopia.
Therefore, I do not want to remain a member of a party that thinks power-sharing is the only option and is not ready to be corrected. My conscience does not allow me to join in the downward spiral of a party that I have relied on and lost my way. Therefore: For the reasons I have mentioned above, I would like to announce my voluntary resignation from the Ezema party.
