A political aspirant on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party and the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has withdrawn from the presidential race.
Peter Obi, without stating the reason for his action, has taken to his social media pages to announce his resignation from the People’s Democratic Party and his withdrawal from the 2023 presidential race.
He wrote, in a letter addressed to the National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party titled “Resignation From People Democratic Party 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, 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 our party. Unfortunately, recent developments within our 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 sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment 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.”
