A former National Youth Leader and National Financial Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rt. Hon. Abdullahi Hussaini MaiBasira, has formally resigned his membership of the party with immediate effect.
In a resignation letter dated December 22, 2025, addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Tudun Wada South Ward, Chanchaga Local Government Area, Minna, MaiBasira thanked the party for the opportunities he enjoyed while serving in various national and auxiliary capacities.
He described his decision to quit the party as “painstakingly onerous,” stressing that he had remained loyal to the PDP since his first registration as a member.
However, he said changing circumstances compelled him to acknowledge “very obvious circumstances and asphyxiating realities” that made it imperative for him to alter his political course.
MaiBasira extended prayers and goodwill to members of the PDP Ward Executive and the wider party family in Minna, Niger State and across the country, assuring them of his continued warm regards despite his exit.
As of the time of filing this report, MaiBasira has not disclosed his next political destination.
However, as a known supporter of Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, MaiBasira and thousands of his followers, who had earlier resigned from the PDP ahead of their leader, are widely expected to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which is positioning itself as a major opposition platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
