Dear Sir,

Indefinite Self-Suspension of ANA Membership:

I write to inform you that I have indefinitely suspended my membership of the Association with effect from 2nd April, 2010.

You will recall that for a year now, I have been pointing out serious anomalies in the administration of the Association, for which no attempts have so far been made to correct, even though there were promises to that effect.

When I compare present day ANA and the one that confronted the Babangida administration in 1986 over the matter of late Poet Mamman Vatsa for instance, I am left with no other option than to take the above action pending when the Association would be steered back to the original aims and objectives as enshrined in its constitution.

I will make this letter public for the sake of posterity.

Thank you.

Chidi Anthony Opara
