The National Treasurer of the `New’ Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Tanko Isiaku Gwamna, has resigned from the faction’s National Working Committee.

In a resignation letter released in Abuja today, Gwamna said he resigned after a careful study of the unfolding events in the polity, and a deep reflection of the consequences of such impasse on the party.

“This decision was arrived at after a careful study of the unfolding events in the polity and a deep sober reflection of the consequences of the outcome of such impasse on our party,’’ he said.

“Our desire is for the PDP to continue to lead while others follow, as such, we must eschew all vices capable of unnecessarily heating up the polity.

“I pledge my loyalty to the Bamanga Tukur leadership, while calling on all party faithful to do same,’’ he said.

Update: A statement on Monday 16 September, indicated that he was sacked by the new PDP for being an agent of the Tukur PDP and that a replacement has been named.
