The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Hon. Abdulmumin Ohiare Abdulsalami, has resigned from the party, citing alleged injustice and the growing influence of powerful interests within its leadership.

Abdulsalami announced his resignation in a letter addressed to the NDC National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, through the Chairman of Nagazi Ward in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State.

He also announced his withdrawal from ongoing technical and political assignments undertaken at the pleasure of the party’s National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson.

The former party spokesperson described himself as a foundation member and formative leader of the NDC, saying his contributions to the party had increasingly come into conflict with the interests of some influential officials. He said he chose to leave voluntarily to preserve his peace of mind rather than continue raising complaints over what he described as repeated injustice.

Abdulsalami thanked Dickson for giving him the opportunity to serve in various capacities, including Protem Chairman of the NDC in Kogi State, Deputy National Publicity Secretary, pioneer spokesperson and Deputy National Director for Labour and Civil Society. He also expressed appreciation to civil society activists, media practitioners and former colleagues who supported his work during his time with the party.

He concluded by thanking members and associates who worked with him during the party’s formative period, as he formally ended his membership and involvement in the NDC.
