“I write to notify you of my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), forthwith.

“This decision to part ways with the APC, is a tough one, but leadership entails adherence to the wishes of the vast majority of associates, allies and supporters who have shown fidelity overtime and have now witnessed the obduracy of the APC in handling the Candidates Selection processes in Akwa Ibom state.

“Our greater goal of providing service to the people of our dear state remains sacrosanct. Please do accept my best regards. Yours Faithfully,”
