Adamu Ninga has stepped down as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa State, confirming the resignation in an interview with journalists on Friday in Lafia. His resignation follows a March 25 suspension by the PDP State Working Committee, a decision communicated in a letter signed by State Secretary Kefas Laura, citing alleged gross misconduct. Mr Ninga stated he had formally submitted his resignation to the PDP chairman of Agyaga Electoral Ward in Akwanga Local Government Area. He attributed his decision to a breakdown in relationships within the party and pressure from certain individuals to act against party rules. "I chose to resign due to an uncivil relationship with some party members who attempted to pressure me into breaking party rules," Mr Ninga said. "I feel that I should resign if my relationship with some group of persons is not cordial because I would rather take the part of honour than a situation where people want to compel me to serve their individual interest." He confirmed he has not yet chosen a new political party but indicated he would disclose his next move when ready. Mr Ninga thanked his supporters and residents of the state for their backing during his tenure, pledging to align with the party they desire.
Adamu Ninga's resignation exposes the internal fractures that can erode party leadership from within. His cited reasons—pressure to violate party rules and dishonourable conduct by associates—suggest a climate where personal agendas override collective purpose. For ordinary Nigerians watching party chairs come and go over interpersonal clashes, political loyalty begins to look less like principle and more like performance. When leaders quit over ethics but stay silent on specifics, the public loses clarity, not just a figurehead.
