Senator Ahmed Wadada, who represents Nasarawa West, has formally resigned from the Social Democratic Party, citing long-standing internal crises that have left the party divided.
His resignation was conveyed in a letter addressed to the chairman of SDP’s Tudun Ward in Keffi Local Government Area. The letter, dated Thursday, August 21, was titled “Notification of Resignation from the Social Democratic Party (SDP).”
“I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign as a member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), effective immediately,” Wadada stated.
“This decision has not been taken lightly but I feel compelled to do so due to the lingering internal crisis that has plagued our party for some time.
“As you are aware, these internal conflicts have led to serious division and litigations within the party.

“I appreciate the opportunities given to me while been a member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and grateful for the experiences and relationship built.
“However, I feel it is time for me to move on and explore new avenues.”
Wadada’s decision comes shortly after he openly expressed support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration during a visit to the State House.
He dismissed claims that the African Democratic Congress could produce a leader who would outshine Tinubu.
The senator also hinted at returning to the All Progressives Congress, recalling his previous roles as a national officer of the Peoples Democratic Party before crossing to the APC and later joining the SDP.
He explained that his resignation was not driven by grudges against the SDP but by what he described as “the dynamism of life.”
