Abdullahi, a Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, (FERMA), announced his resignation in a letter addressed to his ward chairman .
“The persistent internal conflicts and factionalisation within the PDP, which have culminated in a prolonged party crisis, are adversely affecting my ability to effectively represent my constituency and perform my duties optimally.
“I wish to sincerely thank the PDP for the privilege and opportunity to serve under its platform. The support, trust, and experiences I have gained during my time with the party have been invaluable,” Abdullahi stated.
Peoples Daily reports that the his resignation comes amid growing discontent within the PDP over its handling of internal leadership disputes and strategic direction ahead of future elections.
