Senator Wadada dumps SDP

The Senator representing Nasarawa West, Ahmed Wadada, has officially resigned his membership of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Wadada’s resignation was conveyed in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the SDP in Tudun Ward, Keffi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

The letter, titled “Notification of Resignation from the Social Democratic Party (SDP),” was made available to the press on Thursday by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

It read, “I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign as a member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), effective immediately.

“This decision has not been taken lightly but I feel compelled to do so due to the lingering internal crisis that has plagued our party for some time.

“As you are aware, these internal conflicts have led to serious division and litigations within the party.

“I appreciate the opportunities given to me while been a member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and grateful for the experiences and relationship built.

“However, I feel it is time for me to move on and explore new avenues.”

The development comes amid Wadada’s recent comments in support of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Speaking after a visit to the State House, the senator dismissed claims that the African Democratic Congress could produce a leader capable of surpassing Tinubu’s achievements.

Wadada also hinted at a possible return to the All Progressives Congress, recalling that he had previously served as a national officer of the Peoples Democratic Party before joining the APC and later the SDP.

He stressed that his departure from the SDP was not due to grievances with the party but “the dynamism of life.”
