Okowa: PDP N/East Treasurer Dumps Party, Cites ‘Unjust Treatment of Wike’
POLITICS DIGEST – The North-East Zonal Treasurer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Galadima Abba-Itas, has resigned his position and membership of the party.
He said his decision was in response to the “unfair and unjust treatment” done to a former presidential aspirant of the party and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, during and after the primary of the party.

He said that the eventual choice of Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as the running mate to the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, which contradicted his political principles and ideologies, further consolidated his decision to resign from the opposition party.
These were contained in a letter he signed dated July 12, 2022, and addressed to the Ward Chairman of the PDP of Itas Ward, in the Itas Gadau Local Government Area of Bauchi State, titled: ‘Letter of Resignation as Member and Zonal Treasurer, North-East,’ and obtained by The PUNCH correspondent on Tuesday.
The letter was received and acknowledged by the PDP chairman of Itas Ward.
Abba-Itas said the development within the PDP showed that the opposition party was not ready to take back power from the ruling All Progressives Congress.
It was still unclear, as of the time of filing this report, the party he will be joining.
