Former Sports Minister Bolaji Abdullahi Resigns From PDP

A former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Bolaji Abdullahi, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Naija News reports that his decision was conveyed in a resignation letter dated December 16, addressed to the PDP ward chairman in Ubadawaki, Kwara State.

The former minister confirmed the move to TheCable on Monday, stating that he had not yet decided on his next political affiliation.

The decision of what to do and where to go will be taken in the future; that’s left to God,” Abdullahi remarked.

In his resignation letter, he described the decision as “difficult” but necessary, following a period of reflection and self-evaluation.

The letter reads, “I write to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“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.

Abdullahi previously contested as the PDP candidate for the Kwara Central Senatorial District election in 2023 but was defeated by Salihu Mustapha of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
