The 2023 presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Justice Peter Umeadi, has quit the party and withdrawn from all forms of partisan politics in Nigeria.
Umeadi, in a letter addressed to the Chairman of APGA Ward 1, Nri, in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, Mr. Onyekwelu Jideobi, appreciated APGA for giving him the opportunity to fly its flag in the 2023 presidential election.
“I respectfully write to resign from my membership of Nri Ward 1, All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA. By the same token, I withdraw from all partisan politics in Nigeria,” the letter partly read.
DAILY POST reports that Umeadi was the first jurist and law academic to emerge as a presidential candidate of a major political party in Nigeria.
The justice anchored his campaign on the principles of rule of law, separation of powers, and due process, with a vision for social progress and equitable opportunity for all Nigerians.
Umeadi joined APGA on March 20, 2019, at Nri Ward 1, and clinched the party’s presidential ticket on June 1, 2022.
