The senator representing Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District and governorship aspirant of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bassey Albert, has resigned from the party.
Senator Bassey Albert made this known on his official Facebook page. He wrote;
“This communication is made bold with the greatest sense of responsibility, purpose, and love for my people that I can muster.”
I have been a loyal and committed member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Nigeria for over 20 years and have, through the platform of the party, served our people, state, and nation diligently without any blemish, and I have, by the grace of God, contributed positively and impact-fully to the growth and development of our dear country, state, and our people in general.
I believe, as a lawmaker and a distinctive one at that, I must at all times advocate and pursue virtues and values that promote and sustain effective adherence to the rule of law.
As you are aware, my aspiration to serve our dear state in the office of the Executive Governor is not personal or selfish but rather the collective ambition of our people, based on the principles of justice and equity, to achieve a better and more prosperous Akwa Ibom State. In the words of Jean Anouilh and I quote;
“The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.”
Therefore, after an extensive consultation with my God, family, friends, supporters, and well-meaning believers in a just and equitable Akwa Ibom State across the world, it’s obvious that these collective yearnings and aspirations cannot be actualized under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Consequently, guided by the sentiments, concerns, and worries of our people, we express the need to take immediate steps for the actualization of their aspirations.
I am therefore compelled to resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) forthwith.
I am convinced that this action will enable me to take the next positive step to meet the hopes and expectations of the Akwa Ibom people.
Thank you and may God bless Akwa Ibom State. “
