The political scene in Plateau State has become increasingly tense as influential members of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) continue to withdraw their membership, citing frustration and dwindling confidence in the internal workings of their parties.
In the most recent episode, a PDP stalwart, Nde Isaac Wadak, officially resigned from the party through a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Kabwir Pada Ward in Kanke Local Government Area, Mr Kichime Kassam.
Similarly, a top APC figure, Chief Robert Taple, announced his resignation in a letter sent to the State Secretariat of the party located at Kalwa House, Jos, through the Chairman of his Lankan Ward in Pankshin Local Government Area.
In his letter, Wadak expressed disappointment over what he described as the decay of the PDP’s original values and internal democracy, saying, “I have watched as the ideals and philosophy on which the Party is founded are being eroded. Trust and loyalty are being sacrificed at the altar of mediocrity, while sycophants and rent-seekers are being rewarded.”
Wadak, a dedicated member of former Governor Jonah Jang’s Redemption Team and a supporter of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s 2023 election victory, stated that his resignation was a matter of conscience and conviction, noting that the Party was “gradually sliding into irrelevance.”
On the other hand, Chief Taple explained that his decision to quit the APC stemmed from his wish to become apolitical “to freely advise and work for the progress of Plateau and Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the APC has set up a committee headed by Elder Pam Gyang to receive returnees and new members on October 30. The National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, also disclosed that he receives numerous daily calls from people indicating interest in joining the party.
