Fatima Binta Bello, a former assistant minority whip in the House of Representatives, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, the largest opposition group.
She gave notice of her resignation in a letter she wrote to the party’s leader on Thursday in Shongom Ward, Shongom LGA, Gombe State.
However, she made no mention of the reasons for her departure from the party or whether she planned to join another one.
Parts of the letter read,
“I am writing to tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect. Attached herewith, I am also sending in my PDP membership card.
“This decision was not an easy one and I have consulted with people before taking such a step due to certain factors.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank the party for all the support given to me for over two decades. I wish you nothing but success in the future.”
Binta was in the green chamber for eight years, representing the Kaltungo/Shongom constituency of Gombe State.
