Just In: Ex-Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi Dumps PDP, Quits Presidential Race.

TrendyNews has it on credible authority that, Mr. Peter Obi, a presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has surprisingly dumped the main opposition party, in what is being considered as a shocking development in the build-up to the party’s primary this weekend.

The former governor of Anambra State, said to be one of the frontline presidential hopefuls of the PDP, has also withdrawn his 2023 presidential ambition on the platform of the party.

His resignation was contained in a letter dated 20, addressed to the National Chairman of the PDP.

The ex-governor’s decision to leave the PDP comes days to the presidential primary of the PDP scheduled to hold on Saturday.

Obi said said he is leaving the party due to certain “recent developments within” the PDP which has practically made it “impossible to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.”

Find below what he said in his resignation letter from the PDP:

“I am writing to intimate you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was conveyed to the Chairman of August Ward 2, Anaocha LGA Anambra, effective Friday, 20 May, 2022. Consequently, I am by this letter informing you of my withdrawal from the PDP Presidential Primaries.

“It has been a great honor to contribute to nation-building efforts through the party. Unfortunately, recent developments within the party make it practically impossible to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.

Our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we make each other profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment to rescuing the country 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 the country.”
