He expressed gratitude to the PDP for the opportunity to serve under its platform, acknowledging the support and trust he received during his time with the party.


“The support, trust, and experiences I have gained during my time with the party have been invaluable, and I remain deeply grateful to the leadership and members at all levels,” he added.
