Ex-Deputy Minority Whip, Binta, dumps PDP

Gombe State chapter of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost one of its ardent members in the person of former Deputy Minority Whip in the Federal House of Representatives, Fatima Binta Bello.

She announced the resignation of her membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a letter dated 5th October 2023 and addressed to the Chairman of the party in the Shongom Ward, Shongom LGA of Gombe State,

Hon. Fatima Binta Bello conveyed her decision to quit the Party but remained silent on her reasons for quitting the PDP and she did not formally join any political party.

She, however, thanked the entire body and leadership of the party, noting that the decision to quit the party was hard, but taken after a wide consultation with her associates.

The letter read in part, “I am writing to tender my resignation from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. Attached herewith, I am also sending in my PDP Membership card”

A former Deputy Chairman of Shongom local government council and Commissioner during the Danjuma Goje-led administration, she was in the House for 8 years, representing Kaltungo/Shongom constituency in Gombe State, and served as Deputy Minority Whip of the Lower Chambers of the 8th Assembly.
