A former National Organising Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abubakar Mustapha, has resigned from the party and decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) In Kaduna State.
Mustapha, also a former Head of the Civil Service in Kaduna, resigned from the PDP through a letter he wrote to the chairman of Gubuchi ward in Makarfi Local Government Area of the state dated July 15th, 2024.
He explained that he voluntarily resigned his membership of the PDP based on personal reasons, appreciating the party for giving him the opportunity to serve in various capacities since he joined till the date he left the party.
Also joining Mustapha in resigning was a five-time Commissioner in Kaduna State during the PDP-led administration, Rabi’u Bako as well as a former Permanent Secretary of the Kaduna State civil service, Suleiman Sambo.
Bako in his resignation letter addressed to the PDP chairman of Shaba ward in Kaduna North local government, dated July 19th, 2024, gave the unfortunate happenings in the state chapter of the party where leaders seem to lack focus and integrity as reasons for quitting the opposition party.
He described the party leaders as self–centred whose interest is to dictate what happens in the PDP.
He, however, said that it was indeed a great honour contributing his quota to the development of the PDP which he noted that is presently in an unfortunate state.
On his part, Sambo through a letter he wrote to the PDP chairman of Gubuchi ward in Makarfi local government area, dated July 15th, 2024, said he left the party based on personal reasons.
