The former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has resigned from the people’s democratic party, PDP, the main opposition party. In a letter dated May 24, Obi informed the PDP national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, of his intention to leave the party and withdraw from the party’s forthcoming presidential primaries.
In the letter titled, “Resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, and withdrawal from the presidential contest,” Obi stated, that he was informing them of his intention to resign from the party and withdraw from the party’s presidential primaries.
The letter reads: “I am writing to intimate you of my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, which was conveyed to the Chairman of Agulu Ward 2, Anaocha LGA, Anambra, effective Friday 20 May, 2022. Consequently, I am by this letter informing you of my withdrawal for the PDP, presidential primaries.
“It has been a great honour to contribute to nation-building efforts through our party. Unfortunately, recent developments within our party make it practically impossible to continue participating and making such constructive contribution,
“Our national challenges are deep-seeted and require that we each make our profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment to resuing 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 to the nation,” Obi concludes.
It is however, not revealed yet what Obi’s next move is, and which political party he intends to join that will afford him the opportunity to serve his fatherland.
