The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has continued to lose its relevance through bleeding. The defection of its members in droves is not abetting.
The latest is Ibrahim Khalid Mustapha, the Senator who represents Kaduna North Senatorial District in the National Assembly. In resigning, Senator Mustapha cited unresolved internal crises rocking the party.
His resignation was contained in a letter dated March 27, 2026, and addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Soba Ward in Soba Local Government Area.
The persistent leadership tussles, ongoing court cases, and divisions within the party,Mustapha said, made his continued participation difficult.
He said: “The internal crisis, unending court cases and the resulting leadership disagreement and divisions within the party at various levels have made it increasingly difficult for me to continue my membership, active participation and commitment as a member.”
The Senator pointed out that the recurring conflicts have eroded the unity and clear direction that was once the hallmark of the party. This, he said, has made it challenging for him to align with its current structure and operations.
The situation, according to him, within the party, no longer reflects the ideals which initially attracted him to the PDP.
Mustapha expressed gratitude to party members and supporters for standing by him throughout his political journey.
“I sincerely thank all the party faithful for their support and belief in me over the years. You have been a strong pillar and I remain deeply appreciative of the trust and encouragement I have received.”
There are strong speculations that he is likely heading to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
