Bolaji Abdullahi, the former minister of sports and youth development, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He announced his resignation in a letter dated December 16 and written to the PDP ward chairman in Ubadawaki, Kwara state.
Abdullahi verified the development to TheCable on Monday.
The former minister also stated that he has yet to select which political platform he will support.
He said:
“The decision of what to do and where to go will be taken in the future that’s left to God.”
In the resignation letter, Abdullahi said he reached the “difficult” decision after days of reflection and introspection.
“I write to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” the letter reads.
“I have had ample time to reflect, and I have come to the difficult conclusion that this is the only tenable option for me at this time.
“Mr. Chairman, please permit me to express, through you, my gratitude to the leadership of the party for the opportunities that I have had to serve the state and the country on its platform, and for the great moments we have shared.”
Abdullahi was the PDP contender for the Kwara central senatorial district election in 2023. He lost the election to Salihu Mustapha of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
