Dr. Junaid Mohammed, the running mate of the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Mr. Donald Duke has withdrawn from the race.
Junaid, who has been a fierce critic of President Muhammadu Buhari told Eniola Akinkuotu of the Punch Newspapers during an interview that he took the decision in order to avoid the many hassles of the SDP.
The Second Republic lawmaker also disclosed that he has also stepped down as the Deputy National Chairman of the SDP and has communicated his decision to the chairman of the party, Chief Olu Falae and Duke over the decision.
“It is true. I stepped down a while ago because of the many hassles. I also resigned as Deputy National Chairman. I have written to Chief Olu Falae and Mr. Donald Duke. However, I have not resigned from the party.”
Asked if he would support President Buhari to take Nigeria to the next level, Junaid maintained that he would never do such.
