A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State, Senator Isa Galaudu, has formally resigned his membership of the party.
Galaudu, who represented Kebbi North Senatorial District between 2011 and 2015, announced his resignation in a letter dated August 20 and addressed to the ward chairman of the PDP in Augie North, Alhaji Muhammadu Aliyu Danbuga.
In the letter, the former Chief of Staff to the Senate President stated that his decision took effect immediately.
“I write to inform you of my resignation with immediate effect as a member of the PDP. It’s obvious that the PDP is being controlled by politicians of the national ruling party,” Galaudu wrote.
Galaudu, who was the PDP’s governorship candidate in the 2019 general elections in Kebbi, explained that his exit was due to developments in the party, which he claimed, threatened its survival.
According to him, “My resignation has become necessary in view of the happenings in the party and its seeming consequence of obliteration.”
Although he did not disclose his next political move, Galaudu is regarded as a potent political force in Kebbi State.
A former banker, he also served as a board member of Usman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto, and remains an influential figure in Kebbi politics.
