He explained that he took the decision to leave the party because of his firm commitment to rescuing Nigeria, even if the route differs.

Although Obi said it was a great honour to contribute to nation-building efforts through PDP, he lamented that the recent developments within the PDP have made it practically impossible for him to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.

According to him, the nation’s challenges are deep-seated and require profound sacrifices towards rescuing the country.

The presidential aspirant informed the PDP chairman that he has since conveyed his resignation and withdrawal from the primary to the Chairman of Agulu Ward 2, his ward in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.

 

OBI’S LETTER:

27 Niger Drive, GRA Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria

24 May 2022

The National Chairman,

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

WADATA Plaza Abuja, FCT

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.

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 country.

Sincerely,

Peter Obi, CON
