Former Secretary to the Bauchi State Government and Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, Ibrahim Kashim has resigned from the party.
Kashim made this known in a resignation letter dated July 21. Although he did not state reason for his resignation from the opposition party.
The former SSG extended gratitude to the leadership of his ward for giving him the opportunity to be a member of PDP and subsequent nomination as the flagbearer of the party to contest the 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
“Even as I discharged my responsibilities as the Secretary to the State Government to ensure, against all odds and historical challenges of second term candidates winning in the local government, that we delivered and won in virtually all wards,” he said.
“Be that as it may, after due consideration. I wish to formally notify you that I have, effective the date of this letter, resigned my membership of the PDP and hope to explore other avenues of seeking the mandate of our people to serve them with the same commitment, passion, honesty of purpose, trustworthiness and above all fear of Allah SWT.”
Kashim resigned as SSG in January 2025, saying he was instructed by the governor to tender his resignation.
A few months to the 2023 governorship election, Kashim stepped down his candidacy for Governor Bala Mohammed who contested the presidential ticket of the party.
Kashim campaigned extensively across the state with Governor Mohammed, giving him unalloyed support.
