From Olanrewaju Lawal, Birnin Kebbi
The former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general election in Kebbi State, Senator Isa Galaudu, has formally resigned his membership from the party.
Galaudu, a former Chief of Staff to the Senate President, in a letter dated Tuesday, August 20, 2025, and addressed to the Ward Chairman of the PDP in Augie North, Alhaji Muhammadu Aliyu Danbuga, stated that his resignation from the PDP was with immediate effect.
The former banker and board member of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University said his resignation became necessary in view of the situation in the main opposition party and its seeming consequence of obliteration.
According to him, “I write to inform you of my resignation with immediate effect as a member of the PDP. It’s obvious that the PDP is being controlled by politicians of the national ruling party.”
Galaudu, who represented Kebbi North Senatorial District at the Senate from 2011 to 2015, was also the PDP’s governorship candidate in the 2019 general elections in Kebbi State.
