A former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Tom Ikimi, on Tuesday announced his decision to withdraw his membership of the All Progressives Congress.
This was contained in a letter Ikimi signed and addressed to the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in Abuja.
Ikimi’s letter read in part: “I have made the decision to withdraw my membership from the APC with effect from today, August 26, 2014.
“Kindly find forwarded to you herewith my statement released today bearing the title: All Progressives Congress – My Reflections.
“I wish to particularly draw your attention to the last paragraph of the document stating the withdrawal of my membership from the party.”
It will be recalled that Ikimi contested the National Chairmanship position of the APC and lost to Odigie-Oyegun.
