NDC's Ibrahim Kashim Resigns, Fresh Congresses Planned

Ibrahim Kashim, a former Secretary to the Bauchi State Government, resigned from his position as the Nigeria Democratic Congress's governorship candidate, leading to speculation about his potential defection to the All Progressives Congress. In response, the NDC announced plans to hold fresh congresses to fill any vacancies created by candidate exits, as stated by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director.

Although Kashim was not named directly in the statement, a source confirmed his central role in the situation. The NDC warned its members against inducements from the APC, accusing the ruling party of trying to weaken opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Kashim emphasized that his departure was a well-considered decision and reassured his supporters of his ongoing commitment to political reform and socio-economic development in Bauchi State. He has not disclosed which party he intends to join next.
