Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2019 election, has given reason why he withdraw from the contest and subsequently dump the party.

Obi, who had gone over the country seeking delegates for the PDP’s presidential primary, pulled out with less than 72 hours to go.

Obi said he has written the PDP’s national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, to inform him of his desire to leave the party.

In the letter titled, “Resignation From Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Withdrawal from the Presidential Contest”, Obi did not state the reason for taking the action.

“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.”

Commenting on the development, Doyin Okupe, Director General, Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, asked Nigerians not to give up as the former Anambra governor would be on the ballot for the 2023 Presidential poll.
