The party assured supporters that a new round of political engagements would soon be unveiled. Details of the next line of action would be communicated at the opportune time.

The committee also urged the members and supporters of the party to remain calm, and united and committed to Abubakar’s governorship ambition.

Some political groups have also accused the Coordinating Minister for Health, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate and former Governor Isa Yuguda of supporting the emergence of former Governor, Mohammed Abubakar as the party’s governorship candidate.

The former Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar lost his re-election bid in 2019 to the incumbent Governor, Bala Mohammed.

Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi, representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Ningi was said to have tendered his resignation through a letter to the PDP Chairman of Ningi Ward in Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

The decision, he said, was taken after wide consultations with stakeholders, associates and supporters. Ningi, who joined the PDP in 1998, had spent over 20 years in the party.

He was a two-term House of Representatives member and two-term senator on the party’s platform.

The lawmaker described the PDP as “once the largest political party in Africa”, and said it was once known for strong ideology, unity and democratic values, which enabled participatory governance.

The party’s internal leadership crisis, factional divisions and competing interests, Ningi said, had weakened the party’s unity and structure.

“It is now a great concern and worrisome to me that this virile and united platform could be turned into a ramshackle organisation with internal leadership wrangling and factional interests,” he wrote.

The senator said that leaving PDP was one of the hardest decisions of his political career. The party had given him the opportunity to serve his constituency and the country with distinction, he said.

The legislator thanked the leaders of the PDP at all levels for their support to his political career over the years.

“As I pursue my political career outside the People’s Democratic Party, please accept my best regards,” he added.
