Former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Bolaji Abdullahi has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Abdullahi says he is indecisive on his next political move as he has committed it to God.

In the statement to the press, he said he reached the difficult decision after days of reflection and introspection.

“I write to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” the letter reads.

In 2018, Abdullahi defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) where he was serving as National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

During his time at PDP, he contested for the Kwara central senatorial district election in 2023 which he lost to Salihu Mustapha of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

His defection comes after other politicians, mostly from the Labour Party in the House of Representatives defeated the APC.

Five lawmakers comprising four Labour Party (LP) members in Imo, Kaduna, Cross River and Edo states and one Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member defected to the APC.
