Aminu Tambuwal resigned from Nigeria's People's Democratic Party (PDP) on March 12, 2026, prompting other members, including Rep Dasuki and the Sokoto PDP ex-governor candidate, to also leave the party by March 15. These resignations weaken the PDP's position ahead of upcoming elections and may shift political alliances in Nigeria. The reasons Tambuwal and others gave for leaving highlight internal disagreements within the PDP.
