In a dramatic turn of events, the former Governor of Kaduna State, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, has made a significant decision that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Yero's announcement of his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) comes precisely 48 hours after the state election petition tribunal handed down a verdict that dismissed the petition of the PDP’s candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru, in connection with the keenly contested March 18 governorship election.
Yero conveyed his momentous decision through a meticulously composed letter, meticulously addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Kaura ward, situated in the Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna state. Intriguingly, the letter did not provide any explicit reason for this unexpected departure.
With a tone suffused with both solemnity and gratitude towards the Almighty, Yero's letter formally declared his intention to sever his ties with the Peoples Democratic Party. "In view of this," the letter proclaimed, "I hereby tender my resignation as a member of PDP with effect from the 30th of September, 2023." To underscore the finality of his decision, he enclosed his party membership card, duly returned.
Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, who once served as the deputy governor under the late Patrick Yakowa administration, found himself thrust into the role of substantive governor following the tragic demise of his principal in a helicopter crash in Bayelsa. However, his political journey was marked by tumultuous tides, culminating in his defeat in the 2015 elections at the hands of the incumbent Governor Nasir El-Rufai. This latest development in Yero's political saga adds a new layer of intrigue to an already dynamic and ever-evolving political landscape in Kaduna State.
