“Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party with effect from today,” he wrote.
The former senator explained that the decision followed extensive consultations with his political associates, adding that plans were underway to move to another political platform.
“This decision follows wide consultations within my political group to continue our political activities in another party,” he stated.
