Two PDP federal lawmakers from Yobe State have resigned from the party. Engr. Muhammad Buba Kajere, representing Fika/Fune Federal Constituency, submitted a letter stating his departure was due to the unresolved internal crisis within the PDP at the national level. He said the decision followed careful consideration of his personal convictions and future political path. Similarly, Hon. Hassan Kaikaku Jakduwa, member for Bade/Jakusko Federal Constituency, announced his resignation, citing a need to better serve the people of his constituency. Jakduwa described politics as a platform for service, responsibility, and collective progress. He claimed the move would allow him to serve with greater focus and effectiveness. Both lawmakers signed the resignation letters but did not reveal which party they plan to join next. The development adds to the growing list of defections from the PDP in recent months. No official response from the party's leadership in Yobe or national secretariat was immediately available.
When two sitting PDP lawmakers from the same state exit simultaneously without naming a destination, it signals more than personal conviction—it points to fractures within the party. Engr. Muhammad Buba Kajere cited national-level turmoil, a detail that exposes the PDP's ongoing instability. For voters in Fika/Fune and Bade/Jakusko, the real concern is whether their representatives' departure will bring tangible change or just shift political theatre to a new stage. Defections without clear platforms rarely translate to better representation.
