The Financial Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Sokoto State, Nasiru Yahaya Isa, has resigned from his position and membership of the party, citing persistent internal crises, lack of internal democracy, and worsening factional divisions.
In a resignation letter dated August 11, 2025, and addressed to the PDP State Chairman, Isa said his decision stemmed from “deep concerns over the persistent crises within our party, which have made it increasingly difficult for me to continue in this role with the integrity and commitment it demands.”
Isa, a former Permanent Secretary in Sokoto State and founder of the Danfilinge Development Foundation, lamented that prolonged leadership wrangling and the defection of prominent members, particularly to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, had eroded the trust and confidence of members and the public.
He said the lack of internal democracy, deep factionalisation, and the exodus of long-standing stalwarts had created an environment that no longer aligned with his values or vision for effective political engagement.
According to him, the decision followed consultations with friends and family, adding that he desired to join a political environment that aligned with his principles and where he could contribute meaningfully to political discourse in Sokoto State.
Isa thanked the PDP for the opportunity to serve, stressing that the prevailing situation made his continued participation untenable.
