The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Taraba State, Abubakar Bawa, has stepped down from his role and withdrawn his membership from the party. He made the announcement on Monday in a brief statement, expressing gratitude to party stakeholders for the opportunity to serve.
Bawa’s resignation comes shortly after the party’s national convention in Ibadan, which he did not attend. While he did not provide a detailed reason for his departure, sources within the party suggest it may be connected to rumors about Governor Agbu Kefas potentially defecting to the All Progressives Congress.
The resignation adds to the growing list of political movements within the PDP as the party navigates internal tensions and the lead-up to upcoming elections. Bawa’s exit signals potential shifts in the state’s political landscape, particularly as party members and observers watch for further developments regarding Governor Kefas and other key figures.
The PDP in Taraba will now face the task of reorganizing its leadership and addressing internal dynamics following Bawa’s decision to leave the party.
