The Senator representing Bauchi North, Samaila Dahuwa Kaila, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, citing what he described as incessant internal squabbles and factionalisation within the party.
In a letter dated October 6, 2025, addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman in Tsokuwa/Kofar Gabar Ward, Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Kaila said the deepening crisis in the party had hindered his ability to effectively discharge his duties as a lawmaker in the 10th Senate.
“The incessant internal squabble that has led to unnecessary factionalisation within the PDP is seriously affecting my ability to deliver on my constitutional responsibilities as an elected representative,” the letter partly read.
He explained that his decision to quit the party followed due consultation with his political associates, adding that he would be moving to another political platform soon.
“Accordingly, I hereby write to inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the PDP with immediate effect,” he stated.
The senator, however, did not disclose the political party he intends to join.
Kaila thanked the PDP for the opportunity to serve under its platform, expressing hope for future collaboration “for the benefit of our great country.”
Efforts to reach the lawmaker for further comments proved unsuccessful as calls and messages to his mobile phone were not returned as of press time.
