The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) faces internal turbulence after its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Abdulmumin Abdulsalami, resigns from the party with immediate effect. Multiple outlets report he quits ahead of the 2027 general elections, framing it as a setback for the opposition party’s cohesion and public messaging.
All accounts say Abdulsalami cites alleged injustice and exclusion, and describes the influence of a small group of powerful members as a factor in his departure. He also steps down from political and technical roles connected to the party’s national leadership, and he frames his participation as that of a founding member.
Some outlets add broader context around contemporaneous exits. Nigerian Eye links his resignation to another reported departure from the NDC by Yunusa Tanko hours earlier, raising questions about internal stability. Other reports focus more narrowly on Abdulsalami’s resignation and the reasons he gives, without extending the story to additional departures.
