Another party top shot dumps PDP

A national ex-officio of the Peoples Democratic Party, representing Kaduna State, Magaji Alhassan, has resigned his membership of the party in the state.

Alhassan announced his resignation through a letter addressed to the acting national chairman of the party, Umar Damagum, dated October 5, 2023.

The PUNCH reported that a former governor of the state, Ramallan Yero, had also, on September 30, 2023, resigned from the party.

Yero became deputy governor under the late Patrick Yakowa administration.

He, however, became the substantive governor following Yakowa’s death in a helicopter crash in Bayelsa Staten

Similarly, Alhassan announced his resignation from the PDP via a letter he wrote to the party’s acting chairman of Kwabai B ward, Zaria Local Government Area of the state, dated October 7, 2023.

The letter obtained by PUNCH in the state capital on Sunday stated no reason for his resignation from the PDP.

Alhassan, however, returned his membership card which he attached to the letter handed over to the ward chairman.

The letter read, “I wish to formally inform you of my resignation as National ex-officio representing Kaduna State with effect from October 5, 2023.”

The PDP had recently witnessed a gale of defections among its members including that of October 10, where 19 councilors and their supporters from the 23 LGAs in the state, dumped the party for the ruling APC in the state.
