His words: \u201cI wish to use this medium to formally and officially resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, and at the same time, inform the general public that as of now, I have ceased to participate in partisan politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hereby apologize to anyone who I have wronged in one way or the other as we wandered through the political tide.<\/p>\n
