The former youth leader expressed profound gratitude to his community, Evuti/Kpada Ward, Lapai LGA, and the entire Niger South Senatorial District for their consistent support.
He also acknowledged the PDP for the opportunities it provided, including his candidacy for the Niger State House of Assembly in 2019 and his appointment as State Youth Leader in 2023 following the death of Mohammed Usman Vatsa.
Evuti indicated that his resignation followed extensive consultations with constituents, political allies, and key stakeholders.
He affirmed his commitment to continue serving the people under the ADC platform, which he described as a “progressive alternative.”
He concluded his letter by seeking forgiveness from anyone he might have offended in the PDP and stated that he holds no grudges.
Copies of his resignation were also sent to the PDP Chairmen of Lapai Local Government Area and Niger State.
His defection is anticipated to have political implications, particularly among the youth constituency, as the 2027 general elections approach.
