In a shocking turn of events, a former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and ex-Chief of Staff in Bauchi State have announced their decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The duo, who were key figures in the state’s political landscape, cited reasons of dissatisfaction with the party’s leadership and direction. According to sources, the former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff had been at odds with the party’s hierarchy for some time, and their defection was not entirely unexpected. The move is seen as a significant blow to the PDP in Bauchi State, where the party has been struggling to maintain its grip on power. The former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff were instrumental in shaping the state’s policies and programs during their tenure, and their departure is likely to create a vacuum in the party’s leadership. The PDP has been facing internal conflicts and power struggles in recent times, which may have contributed to the defection of the two prominent members. The party’s national leadership has been working to address these issues and prevent further defections. However, the loss of the former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff is a significant setback for the party in Bauchi State. The duo’s decision to leave the PDP has been met with mixed reactions from party members and stakeholders, with some expressing shock and disappointment, while others have welcomed the move as an opportunity for the party to re-evaluate its strategies. The former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff have not disclosed which party they will be joining next, but speculation is rife that they may be heading to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). If this happens, it could further weaken the PDP’s chances in the state. The PDP has been the dominant party in Bauchi State for many years, but the APC has been gaining ground in recent times. The defection of the former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff could be a turning point in the state’s political landscape, and it remains to be seen how the PDP will respond to this challenge. The party’s leadership has promised to take steps to address the concerns of its members and prevent further defections. Meanwhile, the APC has welcomed the former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff, and has expressed confidence that they will contribute to the party’s growth and success in Bauchi State. The development has significant implications for the state’s politics, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the coming days and weeks. As the PDP struggles to come to terms with the loss of its two prominent members, the APC is likely to capitalize on the situation to strengthen its position in the state. The former SSG and ex-Chief of Staff’s decision to leave the PDP has sent shockwaves throughout the state’s political establishment, and it remains to be seen how the party will recover from this blow.
