Ombugadu dumps PDP

AI Summary

Former Nasarawa State PDP gubernatorial candidate Rt. Hon. David Ombugadi submitted a resignation letter to the PDP Ward Chairman of Ika Wangibi Ward, citing internal conflicts and a leadership crisis within the party. He said the factional disputes made his political future unclear and that he was withdrawing his membership immediately. The resignation follows reports that PDP stakeholders had urged him to run again in the 2027 governorship election. Sources indicate he may join the ruling All Progressives Congress, which could affect the balance of support ahead of the 2027 elections. The move introduces uncertainty into the PDP’s candidate selection process in Nasarawa.
