A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State, Abdulrazaq Nuhu Zaki, has described the resignation of the immediate past Governor of the State, Malam Isa Yuguda’s membership of the party as a welcome development.
Zaki, a former member of the House of Representatives from the state said Yuguda’s exit will not affect the fortunes of the party.
He said: “Yuguda leaving the PDP is a welcome development. With his exit, a huge yoke has been lifted off the neck of PDP in the state.
“With God on our side, the PDP will emerge victorious in the coming elections as we are working hard to see that we reposition the party”.
Yuguda had at the weekend announced his resignation from the PDP in a letter to the Bauchi PDP chairman, saying recent revelations in the $2.1 billion arms procurement scandal made him reconsider his membership of the party.
