Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Abdulmumin Abdulsalami, has said he resigned from the party to safeguard his peace of mind, accusing some leaders of showing him deliberate malice.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Thursday, Abdulsalami explained that his sincere contributions to the party began to conflict with the interests of a few powerful officials who dominate decision-making. He said he chose to leave rather than remain and continually protest against what he described as injustice.
According to him, he was removed from the National Working Committee (NWC) and replaced by individuals he had personally welcomed when they defected to the NDC. He claimed the national secretary directed intense hostility toward him and used bureaucratic processes to intimidate, sideline, and humiliate him.
Abdulsalami, who was a founding member of the party, noted that he previously served as Protem Chairman in Kogi State before rising to the position of Deputy National Publicity Secretary and pioneer spokesman. He added that he would rather return home than stay in an environment where he felt deliberately excluded.
His resignation came just hours after another prominent figure in the Peter Obi camp, Yunusa Tanko, left the NDC for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
