The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has recorded the exit of another key figure, with founding member Abdulmumin Ohiare Abdulsalami resigning over alleged internal injustice and exclusion.
Ohiare, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary and pioneer spokesperson, announced his resignation in a letter on Wednesday night, addressed to the National Chairman, Sen. Moses Cleopas, through the Ward Chairman of Nagazi Ward, Adavi Local Government Area, Kogi State.
He also announced his withdrawal from all political, administrative and technical commitments undertaken on behalf of the party.
Explaining his decision, Ohiare accused some powerful officials of undermining his contributions to the party’s growth in pursuit of their interests.
“I am compelled to take the voluntary exit having realized my sincere and positive contributions to the meteoric rise and success of the party are at odds with the vested interests of a few powerful officers who call the shots,” he said.
He added that his decision was informed by his desire to protect his peace of mind after repeated experiences of what he described as injustice.
“This painstaking decision serves my best interest as I prioritise my peace of mind rather than recurrent complaints at the sight of series of injustice meted out to me,” he stated.
“I am calling it quits and heading back home, avoiding orchestrated melodrama of exclusion from party affairs. I love you all, but I love myself and my mental sanity most,” he declared.
Ohiare previously served as Kogi State Protem Chairman, Deputy National Publicity Secretary and pioneer spokesperson, as well as Deputy National Director for Labour and Civil Society.
