Dan Iya tendered his resignation in a letter to the PDP Chairman of Kware Ward, Kware Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Manir Muhammad Dan Iya, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Dan Iya tendered his resignation in a letter to the PDP Chairman of Kware Ward, Kware Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The letter read: “I write to notify you of withdrawal of my membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with effect from 8th February 2023.
“I appreciate the opportunities given to me, which made me serve in various capacities under the PDP,” he wrote.
This serves as a blow to the PDP as it comes 16 days to the February 25 Presidential election.
Governor Aminu Tambuwal is the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign of Atiku Abubakar, the party’s flagbearer in the election.
Although Dan Iya did not make his next political move known, sources say he is on his way to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
