Bolaji Abdullahi, a former minister of sports and youth development, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a resignation letter dated December 16 and addressed to the PDP ward chairman in Ubadawaki, Kwara State, Abdullahi explained that his decision came after extensive reflection and introspection.
“I write to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” the letter stated. “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 I have had to serve the state and the country on its platform, and for the great moments we have shared.”
Speaking to newsmen on Monday, Abdullahi confirmed the development, adding that he has yet to decide which political party he will join next. “The decision of what to do and where to go will be taken in the future that’s left to God,” he said.
Abdullahi, who contested as the PDP candidate for Kwara Central senatorial district in the 2023 general election, lost the race to Salihu Mustapha of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
