Former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party.
The presidential hopeful disclosed this through a statement seen by odinews.com on Wednesday.
In a letter addressed to the National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, titled ‘Resignation From Peoples Democratic and Withdrawal From the Presidential Contest’, the former governor said he was happy to have contributed to the nation-building efforts of the country through the PDP.
“Consequently, I am by this letter informing you of my withdrawal from 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.”
Obi thanked the National Chairman of the party for his leadership and wished him well in the service of the country.
