The Director General of the PDP Governors Forum, Osaro Onaiwu, has resigned his position.
Onaiwu in a letter to the chairman of the Forum and governor of Ondo state, Olusegun Mimiko, said his decision was to allow him pursue other future endeavour.
Onaiwu was an aspirant on the platform of the PDP but failed to participate in the party primaries that held on Monday in Benin City that produced Pastor Ize Iyamu as its flagbearer for the September 10 governorship poll.

The terse letter read: “Unto every time there is a season, and in line with this Biblical truth, I wish to inform His Excellency of my resignation, effective, June 21, 2016 as the Director General of the PDP Governors Forum.
“I am persuaded to call it quits in order to pursue my future endeavour in other capacity.
“During my years as DG of the Forum, I am consoled by the fact that my loyalty, competence and service was at no time in doubt, therefore will be leaving with gratitude.
“I wish to thank His Excellency and all his brother governors, present and former, for their support during my term as DG and wish the Forum the best.

“I profoundly thank His Excellency, Dr. Bukola Saraki, President of the Senate, who gave me the initial opportunity at the Nigeria Governors Forum, as well as Their Excellency’s, Senators Jonah Jang and Godswill Akpabio, who led the NGF and PDP Governors Forum at different times for their support and confidence.”
A source close to Onaiwu hinted that he may be picking the governorship form on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, on Tuesday in Abuja.
