Sir,
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
I am writing to inform you about my decision to leave my position as Ondo State’s Chairman
of Social Democratic Party (SDP), effective from December 31st, 2023.
This choice was made for a variety of reasons. First off, the job has had a significant negative
impact on my own finances. In the past year, I have been the one who has taken on the financial
obligations of the party, except from Prince Adewole Adebayo, who has always been helpful
whenever we called on him. Second, while I was able to devote all of my time, focus, talent,
and resources to the party during the past year, it had an impact on my other vital daily
activities. I am the Head of Station of a media company, the position I combine with the
chairmanship position of SDP in Ondo State. Now, the company I work for needs my attention
more than ever, and the expansion of the company has been significantly hampered by my
absence. The third reason is that I am a writer, and had intended to write and publish two books
over the course of the following twelve months. Unfortunately, since my research efforts would
require a lot of travel, I would not be able to accomplish this while I am the Chairman of SDP
in Ondo State.
The party would need someone in the driver’s seat who could devote their whole focus,
especially with the Local Government Election coming up and the Gubernatorial contest
already underway. In order to avoid a situation where there would be a void, I have decided to
give you three months’ notice. Therefore, the effective date of my resignation would be
December 31, 2023. This will make it possible for the National Leadership of our great party
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to such an incredible political party. I appreciate
you providing me with the platform and opportunity to make my contribution to the growth of
my beloved Sunshine State. Finally, I would want to express my gratitude for allowing me the
opportunity to be part of the political gladiators who actively participated in one of the most
difficult and fiercely disputed presidential elections in Nigerian history. I have truly valued the
opportunity to work with such a strong and dedicated political leaders. I wish the best to you
and the other members of our great party going forward.
Sincerely
Hon. Stephen Adewale
