Princewill announced his resignation in letter personally signed by him and addressed to the Ward chairman of the APC in ward 3 in Buguma Asari Toru Local Government Area of Rivers state.
The former APC chieftain identified the choice of the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket by the party as his reason for resigning, adding that he cannot defend the choice of a Muslim to deputize another Muslim especially at a time like this, against all protestations from well-meaning Nigerians, across religious and political divides.
In the letter, Princewill said he cannot argue for equity in his state and defend inequity in his country, saying even if the APC wins the presidential election, it sets a very wrong precedent, totally insensitive and will prove bad for good governance.
He further argued that President Muhammadu Buhari resisted the same temptation and chose a little known Yemi Osinbajo and won in 2015, stressing that the action of Bola Ahmed Tinubu means that a Northern Christian has no electoral value.
He however expressed his appreciation for the former Minister of Transportation Chibuike Amaechi for all his effort in the party.
