Defection hits PDP as Secretary Resigns, Exits Party


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has been hit by the resignation of its secretary, Alhaji Rasaq Lawal. Lawal officially announced his decision to step down from his position and also withdraw his membership from the party in separate letters addressed to the PDP state chairman, Hon. Babatunde Mohammed, and the PDP chairman in Badari ward of Ilorin West local government area.


In the resignation letter sent to the state chairman, Lawal cited personal reasons as the motivation behind his departure. He expressed his belief that every endeavor in life has a beginning and an end, and according to his Muslim faith, he sees his resignation as part of his destined path. Lawal thanked the party leadership for their understanding in his decision to move on.


Lawal's resignation of his party membership, addressed to the PDP chairman in Badari ward, also emphasized personal reasons as the basis for his departure. He expressed gratitude for the understanding of the party members in light of his decision.


Alhaji Rasaq Lawal's resignation comes as a surprise to the PDP in Kwara State. Lawal has served as the party's secretary and has been an active member. The PDP, known as one of Nigeria's major political parties, will now need to find a replacement for the vacant secretary position.


The resignation of a key party official raises questions about the underlying factors that led to Lawal's decision. While Lawal has cited personal reasons, political observers are likely to speculate on potential internal disagreements, ideological differences, or dissatisfaction within the party as possible contributing factors. However, without further information, it remains speculative.


The PDP in Kwara State now faces the task of reorganizing and filling the vacant secretary position. This unexpected development may require the party to reassess its strategies and strengthen internal cohesion as it moves forward.


Lawal's departure serves as a reminder of the fluid nature of Nigerian politics, where individuals may make personal decisions that impact party dynamics. The PDP will need to regroup and refocus its efforts to maintain its presence and influence in Kwara State politics.


As of now, the PDP has not released an official statement regarding Lawal's resignation. It remains to be seen how the party will respond to this development and what impact it will have on the PDP's operations in Kwara State.
