Mr Peter Obi, a PDP presidential aspirant has confirmed he has resigned his membership of the PDP and also withdrew from the primaries.
In a Twitter post, Obi said:
“I am writing to intimate you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was conveyed to the Chait·man of Agulu Ward 2. Anaocha LGA Anambra effective Friday 20 May 2022. Consequently, I am by this letter informing you of my withdrawal from the PDP Presidential Primaries.”
It has been a great honour to contribute to nation-building efforts through the party. Unfortunately, recent developments within the party make it practically impossible to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.”
“Our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we each make profound sac1ifices towards rescuing our country. My co111mitn1ent to rescuing Nigeria remains firm, even if the route differs.”
“I wish to thank you personally for your graciousness and leadership. I wish you well and best of luck in the service of the country,” he said.
