Hassan A. Saleh, a former member of the House of Representatives, has officially ended his 25-year membership with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing unresolved internal issues within the party.
In a resignation letter dated July 2, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Aiono Ward 2 in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State, Saleh outlined his reasons for departing.
He pointed to persistent internal conflicts and what he termed an “irretracable downward spiral” within the party.
“You are aware of my loyalty and dedication to the PDP since I joined party politics 25 years ago,” Saleh stated.
“Despite all the shenanigans that occurred during these 25 years of my sojourn in the PDP, I have remained loyal… and even expended substantial part of my hard-earned resources and time in building the party at both the local level as well as in the State.”
Saleh, who represented Ado/Ogbadibo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency during the 7th and 8th National Assembly, expressed disappointment in the PDP’s inability to resolve its internal divisions over the last two years, saying the party had arrived at a critical turning point.
He added that his decision came after considerable thought and discussions with close allies and family members.
