A two-term Senator who represented Kaduna South Senatorial Zone, Danjuma La’ah, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, News360 Nigeria reports.

La’ah, who served in the National Assembly for eight years, submitted his resignation letter to the Ward Chairman of PDP Mallagum Ward, Kaura Local Government Area, on February 4, 2025.

In his letter, sighted by our correspondent in Kaduna on Friday, La’ah emphasised that his decision to leave the party was personal and did not affect his relationship with the people.

“I humbly write to notify the leadership and members of Peoples Democratic Party, Mallagum Ward, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State of my resignation from the party with effect from 4/02/025.

“I, however, thank each of you for your cooperation and support given to me, particularly during my eight-year tenure as Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial Zone, at the National Assembly, Abuja,” La’ah stated in his letter.

La’ah also expressed gratitude for the support he received during his tenure and wished his former party members success in their future endeavors.

“My resignation which is personal doesn’t affect my relationship with the people. I therefore wish everyone the best in all future endeavors,” he added.

La’ah’s resignation has sparked speculation about his next political move, as the party he plans to join remains unknown.

The Kaduna State chapter of the PDP has maintained silence over the resignation of a two-term former Senator.

Despite efforts to reach out, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Maria Dogo, was unavailable for comment, failing to respond to both calls and WhatsApp messages as of the time of filing this report.

Maybe. But politically, the hype about Southern Kaduna is far-fetched. Southern Kaduna voted Obi (LP) in 2023 and came third. Prior to 2023, they've always voted PDP. The Northern votes were split between APC (muslim-muslim factor) and PDP (Atiku as a fellow Northerner factor) in 2023. You can check the numbers and draw your analysis. Elrufai ran on muslim-muslim ticket twice (for himself and Uba Sani) and despite the noise, he still won. These two regions have always voted at variance with Northern Kaduna having the numbers advantage.

I hope APC is not looking to replace Northern Kaduna for Southern Kaduna. That would be a wrong strategy because with the potential merger/coalition, Northern APC Kaduna (Elrufai's factor) will simply align with the very strong Atiku PDP factor in the state. To understand what that would mean, simply add majority of PDP's votes with majority of APC's votes in 2023. Forget the money-induced defections, APC is very unpopular now in the streets of Northern Nigeria.
