Taraba Political waves – Nov. 17, 2025
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, has resigned his position and withdrawn his membership from the party, marking a major shake-up within the state chapter of the PDP.
Bawa’s resignation, announced on Monday, comes amid growing political realignments in the state. Though he did not immediately disclose the reasons for his decision, sources within the party say the move may be connected to ongoing internal disagreements and the shifting political atmosphere ahead of expected defections.
In a brief statement confirming his exit, Bawa thanked party stakeholders for the opportunity to serve and wished the PDP success in its future engagements. His departure is expected to trigger further reactions within the party hierarchy.
The NEWSPOINTER gathered that consultations are already underway among PDP leaders to appoint an acting chairman to stabilize the party and prevent further cracks within its structure.
