The Kaduna State Woman Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Godiya Lolo, has resigned from her position and membership of the party.
PrimeTimes Nigeria understands that Lolo announced her decision in a resignation letter dated April 13, and addressed to the PDP chairman of the Dura/Bitaro Ward in Jaba Local Government Area of the state.
In the letter, she expressed gratitude to the party for the opportunity to serve in various capacities, particularly as the State Woman Leader.
“I have formally resigned my membership and position within the PDP. I am thankful for the experience and the opportunity to serve as State Woman Leader,” she stated.
Lolo, however, did not disclose her next political destination, leaving room for speculation about her future in the political landscape of the state.
Speculations have linked her name to a Kaduna South campaign structure reportedly associated with the ruling party.
Although there has been no official confirmation, the development has sparked speculation that she may be planning to defect.
The PDP has yet to issue an official statement regarding Lolo’s resignation as of the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, the Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Ali Isa, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal crisis and alleged undemocratic practices within the party.
Isa announced his resignation in a letter dated April 14, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of Kindiyo Ward in Balanga Local Government Area of Gombe State.
In the letter, the lawmaker said his decision takes immediate effect, blaming his exit on what he described as the hijack of the party by undemocratic forces.
He stated that the development had led to factional leadership within the party.
“My decision was compelled by the way and manner some undemocratic forces have hijacked the party for reasons that are contrary to the founding principles and philosophy of the party, which created a factional leadership,” Isa said.
The lawmaker, who represents Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency, said he reached the decision after extensive consultations with family members, political associates and other stakeholders.
“After a series of rigorous consultations with my family, political associates, friends, and relevant stakeholders, I have arrived at the conclusion that the path to my political future, as well as the political future of the great people who gave me their mandate, lies outside the PDP,” he said.
