Mole Istifanus-Bennet, a chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party from the North-East, left the party in Gombe State on Thursday.
The former women’s leader in the state, Istifanus-Bennet, allegedly neglected to give a reason for her resignation, according to a statement made accessible to newsmen.
Recall that the PDP candidate for governor recently came under fire from current and former women leaders in 11 local government areas of Gombe for allegedly failing to involve them in campaign activities.
She had threatened to resign should the candidate fail to right the wrong, stressing that their political capital maybe transferred to helping the opposition retain power, if the candidate, Jibrin Barde, failed to retrace his steps.
In the letter which she addressed to the PDP chairman of Kaltungo West Ward, she commended the party for the opportunity given to her to serve.
The letter partly read, “I wish to humbly write and respectfully inform you of my decision to withdraw my membership from the party as from today.
“I would want to use this medium to most sincerely thank the leadership of the party at all levels for giving me the opportunity to serve
