Minister of Sports and Youth Development during the Jonathan administration, Bolaji Abdullahi, has quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He revealed in a December 16 letter to his PDP ward chairman in Ubadawaki , Kwara state.
Abdullahi said he has not picked a political platform to join yet.
“The decision of what to do and where to go will be taken in the future that’s left to God,” he said.
Describing his decision as “difficult”, the former minister said “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 was the PDP candidate for the Kwara central senatorial district election in 2023. He lost the race to Salihu Mustapha of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
