“I remain grateful for the opportunities I have had to contribute to the party and its ideals. I commend the leadership and members for their relentless efforts to promote democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
“As I transition into this new phase of my life, I seek your understanding and wish the PDP continued success in its endeavours. Thank you for your guidance, camaraderie, and the opportunity to serve under this noble platform”
