Muhammad Bello Sala, a PDP member from Gombe State, humorously breaks from tradition with its blunt “I quit” statement, reflecting a growing frustration with Nigeria’s political parties amid recent high-profile exits like Atiku Abubakar’s resignation on July 14, 2025, which was controversially leaked by alleged opponents.
This viral moment aligns with a 2021 study from the Journal of African Elections, which noted a 15% increase in political party switches in Nigeria due to internal corruption and lack of accountability, suggesting the letter’s simplicity may resonate as a public critique of entrenched political elites.
The shift to the ADC, a party promoting transparency, hints at a broader trend of Nigerians seeking alternatives, supported by ADC’s 2023 strategic compass aiming to rebuild trust in democracy, contrasting with PDP’s recent turmoil.
