NDC Deputy National Publicity Secretary quits party over ‘injustice’

NDC Deputy National Publicity Secretary Abdulmumin Abdulsalami has resigned from the party, citing injustice, exclusion and interference by powerful officials, while the party insists his exit does not signal a crisis.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Abdulmumin Abdulsalami, has resigned from the party, citing alleged injustice, exclusion and interference by powerful officials, The PUNCH reports. In a letter to National Chairman Senator Moses Cleopas, he said his contributions to the party were at odds with the interests of some influential members.

“As a foundation member of the NDC, ditto a critical formative leader in the party, I am compelled to voluntarily take the exit having realised 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,” he stated.

He told The PUNCH he was returning to private life. “I am calling it quits and heading back home to avoid orchestrated melodrama of exclusion from party affairs. I love you all, but I love myself and my mental sanity most,” he said.

NDC National Publicity Secretary Osa Director said, “There is no internal wrangling in the party. The exit of one person is not enough to conclude.”
