Former governor of Anambra State and former vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has withdrawn from the contest for the presidential ticket on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He announced his withdrawal from the party’s primary in a letter dated May 24, 2022 and addressed to the National Chairman of PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.

Besides pulling out of the contest for the party’s presidential ticket barely three days to the exercise, the presidential aspirant also announced his resignation from the party.

The letter reads:

“Dear National Chairman,

“Resignation From Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Withdrawal From the
Presidential Contest.

“I am writing to intimate you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party
(FDP), which was conveyed to the Chairman of Agulu Ward 2., Anaocha LGA, Anambra, effective Friday 20 May, 2022.

“Consequently, I am by this letter informing you of my withdrawal for the PDF Presidential Primaries.

“It has been a great honour to contribute to nation-building efforts through our
party.

“Untortunately, recent developients within our party make it practically
inmpossible to continue participating and making such constructive contributions.

“Our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we each make profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country.

“My commitment to rescuing
Nigeria 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 country”, Peter Obi wrote.
