Senator Wadada Quits SDP Days After Meeting with Tinubu
Senator Ahmed Wadada, representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District, has formally resigned from the Social Democratic Party (SDP), citing deep-rooted internal divisions within the party.
Wadada made his exit official in a resignation letter addressed to the chairman of the SDP in Tudun Kofa ward, Keffi Local Government Area. The letter, effective immediately, paints a picture of frustration over the persistent infighting that has engulfed the party in recent times.
“This decision has not been taken lightly,” the senator wrote. “But I feel compelled to do so due to the lingering internal crisis that has plagued our party for some time.”
He went on to describe how these conflicts have caused “serious divisions and litigations” that have ultimately made his continued membership untenable.
While expressing gratitude for the opportunities and relationships built during his time with the SDP, Wadada said the time had come to “move on and explore new avenues.” However, he stopped short of revealing his next political move.
Speculation over his future intensified earlier this month when Wadada spoke with journalists at the Presidential Villa after a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He praised the president’s performance, stating that no presidential hopeful from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition could rival Tinubu’s track record in office.
His comments and subsequent resignation have fueled talk of a potential shift to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), though the senator has yet to confirm or deny such speculation.
