In the letter, he stated that his decision to leave was driven by “ongoing developments within the PDP” and what he described as the party’s “looming collapse.”
He further alleged that the PDP is being undermined by politicians aligned with the national ruling party, rendering it ineffective as an opposition force.
“It is obvious that the PDP is being controlled by politicians of the national ruling party,” Galaudu wrote, emphasizing that his exit was effective immediately.
