Bolaji Abdullahi, a former sports and youth development minister, has parted ways with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A letter dated December 16, addressed to the PDP ward chairman in Ubadawaki, Kwara state, confirms Bolaji Abdullahi’s resignation from the party, which he officially announced on December 16.
According to The Cable, Bolaji Abdullahi has stated that he has not yet decided on a new political affiliation.
“The decision of what to do and where to go will be taken in the future that’s left to God,”
he said.
In his resignation letter, Bolaji Abdullahi revealed that he made the decision after a period of contemplation and self-reflection, describing it as a difficult choice.
“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.”
Notably, Bolaji Abdullahi ran as the PDP candidate for the Kwara central senatorial district in the 2023 election, but ultimately lost to Salihu Mustapha of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
