Former Senator and diplomat, Abdallah Wali, has dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) after more than two decades of association with the party.
Naija News reports that Wali announced his resignation from PDP in a letter dated December 31, 2025, and addressed to the party’s ward chairman of Sanyinna ward in Tambuwal LGA, Sokoto state.
While expressing appreciation to the PDP leaders for the opportunity to serve both the party and the country, Wali said his resignation is with immediate effect.
Copies of the resignation letter were forwarded to the PDP chairman in Tambuwal LGA and the party’s state chairman in Sokoto, but Wali had not disclosed his next political move.
He said, “I am resigning from my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, including all organs of the PDP in which I am a member. This resignation takes immediate effect,” the letter read.
Wali thanked the PDP for the opportunities to serve both the party and the country, and expressed gratitude to his supporters for standing by him “for well over a quarter of a century.”
Wali’s resignation followed that of former Senator Gilbert Nnaji, who resigned from the PDP on December 26 after 27 years, citing difficulties reconciling his decision with the party’s role in national development.
