Former Sokoto State Deputy Governor Mukhtar Shehu Shagari has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He announced his exit from the PDP barely two days after former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi resigned from the opposition party.

Mukhtar, son of Second Republic President Shehu Shagari, said in a statement that Governor Aminu Tambuwal did not keep to his words.

He promised to make known his next political move in few days.

The statement reads: “I wish to bring to your notice that I, Mukhtari Shehu Shagari has from today ceased to be a member of the PDP.

“This hard decision is as a result of the series of betrayals that I have suffered in the hands of a party that deceitfully claims to be a bastion of democracy but has instead become a party of the highest bidder without considering my labor, commitment, sacrifice, investments and service to the Party since 1998.

“Apart from my numerous sacrifices and service to the Party, the so-called PDP has no reward system regardless of one’s loyalty and faithfulness. It is my conviction that the ideals of the founding fathers of the PDP have been completely eroded and is not worthy to be called a democratic party.

“It is most disheartening that the governor of my state, in particular, has proven to be a man who does not keep to his words, a man who has no regards to integrity, honor and excellence.

“It is also sad and unfortunate that the PDP in Sokoto is dead and buried during his tenure as the Governor of Sokoto State because of his draconian, slippery, cunning, crafty and insincere style of leadership.

The PDP has unfortunately become a “cash and carry” party for the highest bidder so as to serve the interest of a minority few who have hijacked the body and soul of the party.

“While I enjoin my supporters to remain calm, I shall in a few days’ time make my next steps known.”
