“The decision, though difficult, has become necessary after a deep personal reflection on my political journey with the party. I sincerely feel it is time for me to explore new paths.
“It is my utmost desire and expectation that we all continue to maintain the cordial relationship that we have built over the years, in our collective desire to build a better Nigeria.
“Thank you for your understanding. Please accept my best wishes always,” he added.
The former deputy governor did not disclose his next political destination, leaving uncertainty about his future alignment.
Despite his exit, Madumere reaffirmed his commitment to national development, stating that his dedication to building a better Nigeria remains unchanged.
