ABUJA, Nigeria – The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has suffered a fresh setback following the resignation of its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Abdulmumin Ohiare Abdulsalami, over alleged internal disagreements and injustice within the party.

Abdulsalami announced his resignation with immediate effect in a letter addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, through his former ward chairman in Nagazi Ward, Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State.

The former party spokesman, who described himself as a founding member of the NDC, accused some influential party officials of undermining his contributions and placing personal interests above the party’s development.

He said his decision was necessary to protect his peace of mind after what he described as repeated experiences of unfair treatment.

Abdulsalami also announced his withdrawal from all ongoing technical and political responsibilities undertaken on behalf of the party’s national leadership.

Despite his grievances, he expressed appreciation to the NDC National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for giving him the opportunity to serve in various capacities.

He previously served as the party’s Kogi State Protem Chairman, Deputy National Publicity Secretary and pioneer spokesperson, as well as Deputy National Director for Labour and Civil Society.

He also thanked colleagues, civil society activists and media practitioners who supported him during the party’s formative period.

His resignation comes amid reports of another high-profile departure involving Yunusa Tanko, a former political adviser to Peter Obi, who has moved to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

The developments have raised fresh questions about the NDC’s internal cohesion as political parties intensify preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

As of the time of filing this report, the NDC leadership had yet to publicly respond to Abdulsalami’s allegations.
