“My resignation was as a result of wide consultations with my teeming supporters, political associates and in response to the unfair and unjust treatment extended to His Excellency, Barr Nyesom Ezenwo Wike CON, the Executive Governor of Rivers State during and after the presidential primary convention.
“Equally, the unorthodox selection of His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate to the presidential candidate contradicts my political principles and ideologies, hence further consolidated my resignation decision.
“As a critical stakeholder, unjust and unfair treating of founding members posed a great threat to the collective political interest of our leaders and us, thereby necessitating my resignation in protest of the ways things are unfolding in the Party.
“However, the present situation in the party does not inspire confidence that the party is ready to regain power in 2023. I appreciate the opportunity handed to me to serve with passion and dedication. Kindly, accept my sincere and warm regards.”
