NDC Faces Two High-Profile Exits as Deputy Spokesman Alleges Internal Injustice

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has lost two prominent figures within hours of each other. Deputy National Publicity Secretary Abdulmumin Abdulsalami resigned, alleging internal injustice and undue influence by powerful party officials. Separately, Peter Obi’s political adviser, Yunusa Tanko, reportedly left the NDC camp to take a campaign role with the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ahead of the 2027 elections. In his resignation letter, Abdulsalami said he was withdrawing from his party responsibilities and that his contributions had come into conflict with the interests of influential officials. He did not name those officials or provide specific details of the alleged injustice. He also thanked NDC leader Henry Seriake Dickson and colleagues for the roles and opportunities he had received. The departures have prompted questions about the party’s internal cohesion as preparations for the next general election gather pace. There is no evidence that the two moves were coordinated or directly connected. The NDC leadership had not publicly responded to Abdulsalami’s allegations at the time of the report.
