*Cites lacks of internal party discipline, others

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

A respected grassroots mobilizer of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Kaduna state, Hon. Paul Iza, has resigned his membership of the party, citing indifference of the party leadership to effectively manage the grounds gained in the years past, absence of internal party discipline and most unfortunately lack of decisive leadership within the party.

The prominent PDP chieftain had worked tirelessly for the successes of the party especially at the grassroots level and secured victory for the party and delivered his Ungwan Sarki Ward 7 consistently in all elections.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the way and manner the leadership of the party managed its affairs. He cited indiscipline, lack of transparency, absence of sustainable leadership and worse of all, inconsistencies in programmes.

In his letter of resignation which was addressed to the Chairman of Ward 7 in Ungwan Sarki and dated 11 July, 2024, Paul Iza stressed that his resignation was effective from 12 July 2024.

As a stakeholder of the party, Iza served as a member of the Atiku Support Organization (ASO) where he served in several committees.

He was also the Kaduna state Ambassador, Princess Rukaiya Atiku Campaign Organisation, Atiku 2023 (PRACO); Stakeholder PDP Ungwan Sarki Ward 7, Kaduna North and; Member, Kaduna Atiku Support Groups.

Hon. Iza, while achieving successes for the PDP, was the Supreme Leader of the Atiku Champions’ Network, ACN, a group of party faithful that has membership across some northern states that mobilized support for the PDP and its electoral candidates.

His exit from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has been described as a big loss to the party especially now that it is with its political fragmentation.
