NDC crisis deepens as deputy national publicity secretary Abdulsalami resigns
The internal crisis rocking the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has worsened following the resignation of its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Abdulmumin Abdulsalami.
Abdulsalami announced his immediate departure from the party, citing alleged injustice and the excessive influence of a few powerful individuals within its leadership.
He communicated his decision in a resignation letter addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Moses Cleopas, through his former ward chairman in Kogi State.
His resignation came barely hours after Yunusa Tanko, the political adviser to Peter Obi and former National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, dumped the party for the Socia Democratic Party, SDP.
According to the letter, Abdulsalami said he could no longer cope with the way some powerful members of the party had been treating him.
Abdulsalami further stated that he was stepping down from all the political and technical duties he was carrying out for the national leadership.
“With a deep sense of gratitude to almighty Allah, I hereby notify the national and sub-national organs of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, through my former ward chairman, of my resignation from the party,” he wrote.
The former deputy spokesman told the party that he was not a stranger in the NDC, stressing that he was among the founding members who laboured during the birth of the party and its early political outings.
According to the former deputy spokesman, his efforts to grow the party kept colliding with the agenda of some powerful officials who he said have taken full control of the NDC.
He, however, did not name any of the officials he accused and did not list any particular event or incident to back up the treatment he complained about in the letter.
