A major crisis is rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State as the entire state executive committee prepares to resign en masse, citing betrayal and alignment with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Abubakar Bawa Kalgo, a former Secretary of the Kebbi State PDP chapter, announced his resignation on Monday in Birnin Kebbi. He revealed that the decision is collective, with executives from the chairman downward agreeing to exit the party together after discovering it had been “sold out.”
Kalgo explained that the executives initially boycotted a factional convention that produced Kabiru Tanimu Turaki due to a subsisting court order.
They later participated in another convention associated with Nyesom Wike, believing it was legally sound.
However, their confidence collapsed when Wike publicly endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and many newly elected leaders appeared to share the same alignment.
“As members of an opposition party, we cannot be working for or aligning with the ruling party. That defeats the whole essence of democracy,” Kalgo stated.
He described the move as painful, noting that the executives had built the party over decades.
The group now plans to seek a more formidable platform to continue opposing the APC-led administration.
