The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is facing deepening internal challenges after its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Abdulmumin Abdulsalami, resigned from the party with immediate effect.
Abdulsalami cited alleged injustice and the overbearing influence of a few powerful members as the reasons for his departure. In a letter addressed to National Chairman Moses Cleopas through his former ward chairman in Kogi State, he stated that he could no longer tolerate the treatment he had received from certain influential figures.
He also stepped down from all political and technical roles he had been performing for the party’s national leadership. Abdulsalami described himself as a founding member who contributed to the NDC’s formation and early activities, but said his efforts to build the party repeatedly clashed with the personal agendas of some officials who had taken control of its affairs.
He did not name the individuals involved or provide specific examples.The resignation comes just hours after Yunusa Tanko, political adviser to Peter Obi and former National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, reportedly left the NDC for the Social Democratic Party (SDP). These back-to-back exits have raised fresh questions about the party’s internal cohesion ahead of the 2027 general elections.
