“I extend my warmest greetings to you and the members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Otukpo Ward 1, and throughout Benue State and Nigeria,” the statement said. This letter serves as official notice that I have decided to leave the party with immediate effect. As you may remember, my commitment to the PDP’s principles has remained strong and unwavering over the years. Following our defeat in the 2015 presidential election, almost all party members left, but I vowed to stay the last guy standing.

Without coming across as immodest, I have worked tirelessly to rebuild, unite, and reposition the party. This has helped the PDP regain its national prominence and become the party of choice for many Nigerians.

“But recent events characterized by widening gaps, an ongoing leadership crisis, and intractable disagreements have diminished the party to a shadow of its former self, making it the target of public insults.”

Following extensive discussions with my loved ones, relatives, and political connections, I have decided to join Nigeria’s National Coalition of Political Opposition Movement in an attempt to save our country and protect our hard-won democracy.
