The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is facing deepening internal challenges after its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Abdulmumin Abdulsalami, resigned from the party with immediate effect, Peak Newspaper reports.
Abdulsalami cited alleged injustice and the overbearing influence of a few powerful members as the reasons for his departure.
In a letter made available to Peak Newspaper also addressed to National Chairman Moses Cleopas through his former ward chairman in Kogi State, he stated that he could no longer tolerate the treatment he had received from certain influential figures.
He also stepped down from all political and technical roles he had been performing for the party’s national leadership.
Abdulsalami described himself as a founding member who contributed to the NDC’s formation and early activities, but said his efforts to build the party repeatedly clashed with the personal agendas of some officials who had taken control of its affairs.
