Former Speaker Of House of Rep Dumps PDP

Category: Nigerian National News



Ghali Na’Abba, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, has dumped the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP). 


Mr. Na’Abba sent his resignation letter titled “Notification of Resignation from PDP, each organs and committees”, to the chairman of the PDP Sharada Ward in Kano Municipal Local Government Area, Premium Times reports.

In the letter dated March 15, the former lawmaker accused President Goodluck Jonathan of reducing governance to a ridiculous level and splitting the country along ethnic and religious lines.
He also blamed other previous leaders of the PDP, which has ruled Nigeria since 1999, of putting the country in in a bad situation.
Mr. Na’Abba led legislative chamber during Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure as President.
His resignation letter reads in part:
You are no doubt aware of the abysmal level to which the leadership of our great Country under President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party have reduced governance to, as a result of which our great Party has been losing its sons and daughters including so many of its founding fathers and members by the day.
“All efforts of critical members and fathers of the Party to offer advice remain always unheeded. It pains most of us that majority of the founding fathers that had died like Chief S. M. Afolabi, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar Rimi, Chief Solomon Lar, Professor Osammor, Chief S. B. Awoniyi etc all died as a result of their frustration by and with the Party.
“The Country’s and the Party’s leadership have become cabalised to the extent that while Nigerians are aware that they have a President in the person of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, they are at the same time at a loss as to who governs their Country. Both Nigeria and the PDP are left to drift. In the sixteen years the Party has been ruling at the center, the Party’s leadership has failed to lead by example

Instead, it has left us with the conventional wisdom that people cannot succeed in life unless they are ruthless and unprincipled. The Party has become characterized by corruption and impunity in the way and manner candidates for elective positions are being selected to the extent that in almost twenty states, crisis has engulfed the Party over the Gubernatorial primaries and the manner other candidates for other elective positions emerged.
“Instead, under the current leadership, Nigeria is suffering from loss of esteem, as we are now most often consigned to the back seat of international relations. Most worrisome is the current anxiety of most Nigerians as the regime wobbles and tumbles toward the oncoming election.
“Critical National Institutions that unify and wield Nigerians together have been dragged into politics, contrary to wise counsel and political correctness. No administration has used religion and ethnicity to divide Nigerians more than the current administration under the leadership of Mr. Goodluck Jonathan. The ultimate test of any leader is looking at what has remained after he is gone.
“The challenge before Nigerians today, in order to secure a new lease of life therefore, is how to get out this inept leadership that has neither allure nor inspiration.
“In its place, Nigerians deserve not just a good President, good governors, and other political office holders, but true and exemplary leaders.
“For the above and many reasons, effective today 15th March 2015, I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, it’s organs including the Board of Trustees and all other committees to which I belong at National and State levels.
“I pray that your mind and those of other Patriots would also be illuminated with truth so that you may also act wisely and accordingly. This comes with the renewed assurances of my highest consideration and personal respect.”

He however did not disclose if he was joining any other party, though he said he was being lobbied by other parties to join them. His supporters in Kano are expecting to join the main opposition party, APC just like the governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
