“This difficult decision was precipitated by the negative political energy emanating from the irreconcilable differences and squabbles within the PDP at the national level and in my home state of Edo State in particular.

 

“These squabbles have reached levels that make it impossible for someone like me, a confirmed democrat, to function and advance in my political career as I had planned.
