Amos Yohanna, the lawmaker representing Adamawa North senatorial district has announced his resignation as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Senator said his resignation from the PDP follows the prolonged crisis that has bedevilled the opposition party.
According to Yohanna, the unresolved crisis that has continued to rock the PDP made it difficult for him to contribute to the development of his constituency and the state at large.
He also said that he was unable to make any meaningful contribution to the PDP due to the crisis.
He said, “Today, I have officially resigned from my position as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party,” he said on Tuesday.
“Over time, the persistent internal crisis, unresolved conflicts, and lack of cohesion within the party have made it increasingly difficult for me to contribute meaningfully to the growth and stability of the party,” Yohanna said.
While he did not categorically state which party he would be joining, it is believed that the lawmaker might be heading towards the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
An ally of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, Yohanna’s resignation comes days after the governor defected from the PDP to the APC.
Fintiri’s defection from the PDP on Friday, March 27, has triggered a wave of resignation within the party with several analysts questioning the political strength of the former vice president Atiku Abubakar in the state.
