Former Deputy Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Fatima Binta Bello, has resigned her membership of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Her resignation notice was contained in a letter she addressed to the chairman of the party in Shongom Ward, Shongom LGA of Gombe State, on Thursday.
She was, however, silent on her reasons for quitting the party and neither did she indicate her intention to move to another political party.
Parts of the letter read, “I am writing to tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect. Attached herewith, I am also sending in my PDP membership card.
“This decision was not an easy one and I have consulted with people before taking such a step due to certain factors.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank the party for all the support given to me for over two decades. I wish you nothing but success in the future.”
Binta was in the green chamber for eight years, representing the Kaltungo/Shongom constituency of Gombe State.
