Plateau LG Chair officially part ways with PDP
The Chairman of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, John Christopher, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a letter dated December 30, 2025, and addressed to the Vanderpuye Ward Chairman, Dominic Dakat, Christopher said his resignation takes effect immediately.
The letter, obtained in Jos on Tuesday night, stated, “I write to formally notify you of my decision to resign from the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect.”
Christopher did not state the reasons for his decision in the letter.
“This decision is personal and has been carefully considered.”
The chairman expressed appreciation for the opportunity to have served under the PDP platform, saying, “I appreciate the opportunity to have served under the platform of the PDP and wish the party well on its future endeavours.”
The letter was, however, silent on the new party he may have joined.
Contacted, the chairman declined to comment further on the matter.
“I just went to my ward and tendered my resignation letter from PDP. That’s all,” he said.
Asked how many other council officials resigned with him from the PDP, the chairman added, “I don’t know yet. By tomorrow, Wednesday, I will know who will resign with me or not.
