That is why with enormous regret I have tendered my resignation to the prime minister today.

I did not want my people killed. I did not want bloodshed.

I was thinking of resigning since I did not want to be perceived as a man who did the president's bidding to save my job. I have had some time to think about it since. I think I did the right thing.

I am resigning because my secret leaves the governor's office vulnerable.

Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.

I'm sure that was the right step, even though, formally speaking, it may seem disadvantageous for a president to resign. But, looking into what is happening today and what is going to happen in the future, I think history will show I made the right decision.

As the resignation letter which I wrote to the Prime Minister clearly implies, it was not the outcome I sought, but it is one that I accept without rancour, despite what might be described as the hard landing involved.

I have impeached myself by resigning.
