Kola Ologbodiyan, a former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has formally withdrawn his membership from the party.

Mr Ologbodiyan made the development known in a letter he shared on his X page on Saturday, which was addressed to the PDP chairman of Okekoko Ward (09), Kabba/Bunu Local Government, Kogi State.

He previously worked as director of media and publicity for the PDP’s 2019 presidential campaign council. He was also a former aide to the former Senate President, David Mark.

In his exit letter, Mr Ologbodiyan appreciated the PDP for the opportunity to serve the party.

“Let me start by thanking you as well as other levels of leadership in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the opportunities provided for me to serve the party as well as our fatherland, Nigeria,” he said.

He noted that after reviewing his participation in the party, he decided to exit for personal reasons.

“It is now imperative to bring your attention to the fact that I have reviewed my participation in the PDP and came to the conclusion that, for personal reasons, I need to make my exit.

“I have therefore come to a decision to formally withdraw my membership of the PDP, henceforth,” he added.
