A 2027 Democratic Leadership Alliance presidential aspirant, Mrs Abisayo Busari-Akinnadeju, has resigned from the party and demanded a refund of her presidential nomination fee.

Busari-Akinnadeju, in her letter to the National Chairman of the party, obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria in Akure on Friday, said her exit was premised on the party’s inability to conduct a free and fair primary.

The DLA chieftain said it was worrisome that the party leadership settled for a consensus candidate, a decision she described as opposed to and inimical to the growth of the party.

“I write to notify you, and through you the National Working Committee, of my resignation as a member of the Democratic Leadership Alliance with immediate effect from the date of this letter.
