NATIONAL CHAIRMAN’S OFFICE Peoples Democratic Party RECEIVED Sign
Dear National Chairman,
Resignation From Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Withdrawal from the Presidential Contest.
I am writing to intimate you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was conveyed to the Chairman of Agulu Ward 2, Anaocha LGA, Anambra, effective Friday 20 May, 2022. Consequently, 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 contributions.
