Former Bauchi SSG Dumps PDP
Former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in Bauchi State, Barrister Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim, has officially resigned from the party.
Kashim was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 elections in the state.
Months before the 2023 general election, Kashim withdrew from the race in support of Governor Bala Mohammed, who had initially contested for the PDP presidential ticket. Following Bala’s return to the governorship race, Kashim relinquished his candidacy and continued to serve as SSG.
In his resignation letter dated July 21 and obtained Kashim did not disclose the reasons for his departure from the party.
He, however, expressed appreciation to his ward executives and the PDP leadership for the opportunity to serve and for entrusting him with the party’s governorship ticket ahead of the 2023 polls.
“In solidarity with the Governor, I campaigned vigorously across Bauchi Local Government Area alongside him,” he stated, noting his role in helping the governor secure re-election despite the challenges typically faced by second-term aspirants.
Kashim further said: “Be that as it may, after due consideration, I wish to formally notify you that I have, effective the date of this letter, resigned my membership of the PDP. I hope to explore other avenues to seek the mandate of our people and serve with commitment, passion, integrity, and above all, the fear of Allah (SWT).”
