“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, I’m by this letter informing you of my withdrawal from the PDP Presidential Primaries” Mr Obi said.
“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,” he remarked.
“Our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we each make profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment to rescuing Nigeria remains firm, even if the route differs,” Mr Obi said.
