In the letter, Ajaka made it known that he had officially conveyed his message in writing to both the Chairman of APC and the Chairman of Ajaka Ward in Igalamela/Odolu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

The letter reads in part “Kindly permit me to extol the exemplary brinkmanship, astuteness, sagacity and political dexterity with which Your Excellency, being supported by the current National Working Committee, have successfully bonded the hitherto fragile fabrics of the Party; firmly enough to record the most eminent victories in the last general elections.

“Having proudly won the presidential election therefore, I have the utmost faith that the Party, under your charge is able to help the incoming administration upgrade the standard of governance for the greater good of Nigerians.

“I also, by this medium wish to thank my fellow NWC members for their
extra-ordinary camaraderie while we worked together, it is my hope that we are parting ways on the basis of principle, only to meet again, in due course”.

It will be recalled that Ajaka, who is a big political force from Kogi East, was barred from participating in the All Progressives Congress governorship primary in the state held last month.
