Sh*ck Exit: Rep Jamilu Muhammad Dumps PDP In Dramatic Political Move

Jamilu Muhammad, the lawmaker representing Kankara/Faskari/Sabua Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In his resignation letter addressed to the PDP chairman of his Faskari Ward in Katsina State, Muhammad attributed his decision to longstanding internal divisions, acts of sabotage within the party, and PDP’s failure to provide strong, credible opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The letter, dated July 2025, stated that his decision came after “deep reflection and wide consultation.” He expressed disappointment over what he described as the PDP’s departure from its founding principles, especially in times when Nigerians are seeking a clear, united alternative.

“This decision did not come lightly,” he wrote. “But the PDP no longer reflects the kind of focused and principled opposition Nigeria urgently needs at this critical juncture.”

Muhammad criticized the party’s lack of coordination during crucial national events, including the recent re-run election in his constituency. He further condemned the role of some PDP members whom he accused of engaging in anti-party activities during the election.

“Such conduct exposed internal fractures within the party and weakened our collective efforts,” he said.

Looking ahead, the lawmaker hinted at aligning with like-minded Nigerians across party lines to build a new, people-focused political front.

“I believe the time has come to collaborate with others who share a common vision — one anchored on justice, development, and national unity. We must move beyond party lines and work for the future of our country,” he stated.

Despite his departure, Muhammad expressed gratitude to the PDP for providing a platform for his political career and valued the relationships he had built within the party.

He concluded by reaffirming his dedication to pursuing a better and more inclusive Nigeria alongside others committed to genuine reform.
