Former governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi, shocked the nation Wednesday when he announced his exit from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

However the reason for decision to quit the PDP was expressed in a resignation letter addressed to the National Chairman of the party.

In the letter, sighted by Nigerian Academic Excellence Magazine, Obi gave reasons for his withdrawal from the presidential race.

According to him, recent developments within the PDP made it practically impossible 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," Obi said.

Obi's  resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was conveyed to the Chairman of Agulu Ward 2. Anaocha LGA, Anambra, took effect Friday 20 May, 2022.

Mbereko, 40, has been a widow for the past 12 years and has been living with her 23-years-old son Farai Mbereko.
