In his resignation letter, he expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the APC for the opportunities he had while in the party but explained that the decision to leave was taken after careful consideration and consultations with his political associates and supporters.
According to him, his move to the ADC is driven by the desire to pursue a new political direction and contribute more effectively to the democratic process and development of his constituency.
