The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Hon. Abdulmumin Ohiare Abdulsalami, has resigned from the party.
Abdulsalami announced his resignation on Wednesday night, in a formal letter he addressed to the National Chairman,Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Moses Cleopas.
He added he was “calling it quits and heading back home and avoiding orchestrated melodrama of exclusion from party affairs”
He explained his decision in his letter titled: LETTER OF RESIGNATION FROM THE NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (NDC): WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL PARTISAN COMMITMENTS TO THE PARTY.
He said, “With a deep sense of gratitude to almighty Allah, I hereby notify the national and sub-national organs of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), through my former ward chairman, of my resignation from the party. I have also, by this notification, withdrawn from all ongoing technical and political commitments entered into at the pleasure of the National Leader of the NDC.
“As a foundation member of the NDC, ditto a critical formative leader in the party, I am compelled to voluntarily take the exit having realized that my sincere and positive contributions to the meteoric rise and success of the party are at odds with the vested interests of a few powerful officers who call the shots.
“More so, this painstaking decision serves my best interest as I prioritise my peace of mind rather than recurrent complaints at the sight of series of injustice meted out to me.
“More so, I wish to sincerely appreciate the opportunity given to me by the National Leader of the NDC, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson to have served, firstly, as the Kogi State Protem Chairman, secondly, as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary/pioneer Spokesperson of the NDC, and, finally, as the Deputy National Director for Labour and Civil Society of the party.
“And to my erstwhile colleague-friends, civil society activists and media practitioners with whom I have worked assiduously to promote the party, I cannot thank you enough for the comradeship and support you all have accorded me since the infancy of the party, and throughout my partisan stewardship thereupon.
Thank you.
Signed: Hon. Abdulmumin Ohiare Abdulsalami, Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the NDC.
