He announced his resignation at the just concluded BoT meeting held at the Wadata Plaza national secretariat of the party in Abuja.

He was said to have opted to leave before expiration of his tenure so as to give peace a chance to reign in the party for the party to be able to win the 2023 presidential elections.Metrobusinessnews.com (MBN) recalls that the chairman had a few days ago promised to step down to assuage alleged lopsidedness in the party’s leadership positions.
