You will recall that I briefed you yesterday about my personal travails in seeking justice and clearing my name using the Nigerian Legal System to
pursue same.
I have invested too much in your campaign to allow my personal travails to become a source of distraction.
In the circumstances, I have opted to step aside and plead that you appoint a new Campaign DG who can continue the assignment with zero distractions.
God bless you and family.”
