The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prof Tunde Adeniran has announced his decision to resign from his office and partisan politics generally.
Adeniran officially made this known in a letter dated Tuesday, September 29, addressed to the headquarters of the SDP.
The famous politician stated that he understood the enormity of the task of the political class in building the Nigerian polity, especially at this time but noted that he prefers to serve the nation from the capacity of a statesman, which is why, according to him, his disengagement will not affect his meaningful contribution to the development of the nation.
“I wish to inform the general public that I’m with effect from today, disengaging from partisan politics. This implies relinquishing my present position and abstaining henceforth from political activities that are purely partisan. “There is a need for all committed patriots to rally around the vision of a secure and fulfilling future for them. My disengagement is therefore not from involvement in the political affairs of our dear Country but in partisan politics.”
