The former Secretary to the Bauchi State Government, Ibrahim Kashim, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party.
The resignation letter made public on Monday did not state the reason for his defection.
Kashim extended gratitude to the leadership of his ward for allowing him to be a member of PDP, which ultimately led to his being honoured with nomination as the flag bearer of the party to contest the gubernatorial election in the state during the 2023 national elections.
Recall that during the activities of the 2023 general election, Kashim, a few months before the 2023 governorship election, stepped down from his candidacy for Governor Bala Mohammed, who contested the presidential ticket of the Party.
In support of the governor, Kashim said that he traversed the whole of Bauchi Local Government during the campaign with Bala Mohammed
“Even as I discharged my responsibilities as the Secretary to the State Government, to ensure, against all odds and historical challenges of second-term candidates winning in the local government, that we delivered and won in virtually all wards.
“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 and hope to explore other avenues of seeking the mandate of our people to serve them with the same commitment, passion, honesty of purpose, trustworthiness and above all, fear of Allah SWT,” he said.
Kashim resigned from the government in January 2025, saying that he was instructed by the governor to tender his resignation.
