Reports have it that a presidential aspirant under the People Democratic Party (PDP) identified as Mohammed Hayatu-Deen has announced his withdrawal from contesting for the office of the president.
Hayatu-Deen made his intentions known through a letter sent to PDP national chairman identified as Iyorchia Ayu titled “Why I am stepping down as a presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party” that reads;
“I wish to reiterate that I did not join party politics and to contest for the presidency because of personal gains and inordinate ambition, but in order to serve our country.
“It is therefore based on personal principles and with great humility that I have decided after wide consultations to withdraw from this contest which has been obscenely monetized”.
