Parts of the letter read: “I have for a while reflected deeply on my political journey, the state and politics of the Nigeria nation and the political realities of my dear state of Delta.
“I have taken a thorough and keen review on the daunting, yet impressive and courageous effort of our dear President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Like none before him, Mr. President has demonstrated the courage and political willpower to reengineer the nation’s trajectory. Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is without a doubt on the path of recovery.
“I have had deep conversations with leaders across the divide, extensively consulted my political friends and associates on the need to align with the progressives and believers of the Nigeria project in support of our dear President Ahmed Bola Tinubu which has become obviously compelling.
“In this regard, I wish to officially put on notice, my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, effective immediately.
“The Peoples Democratic Party has been a home for me in the last 27 years , offered me opportunities for service and leadership and the privilege for enduring friendship and ties of a life time. I am grateful.
“It is however time to chart a new and progressive course in the interest of a better and renewed Nigeria for our children and generations to come”.
