A former federal lawmaker from Jigawa State, Hon. Safiyanu Ubale, has resigned his membership of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), citing the need for political realignment in the current national landscape.
Ubale announced his resignation in a letter signed on Sunday, stating that recent developments in the country’s political environment necessitated a strategic shift to a platform better positioned to drive meaningful change.
According to him “Considering the current trajectory of the nation and the evolving political landscape which calls for strategic realignment, I find it necessary to identify with another political party that offers the best opportunity to effectively change the nation,” the letter read.
The former lawmaker, who represented his constituency at the National Assembly between 1999 and 2015 under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), later joined the NNPP where he served in various capacities at the local government, state, and national levels, particularly in Taura Local Government Area.
Although Ubale did not officially disclose his next political destination, indications suggest he may be aligning with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
His resignation comes shortly after reports that the NNPP’s National Leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is also expected to defect to the ADC, a move political analysts say could signal a significant shift within the opposition bloc ahead of future elections.
