If you are in PDP, you are in PDP. You cannot be in the PDP and be in the coalition or another party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot take this. Coalition is an aberration. Yes, I said it. You cannot belong to two places. You cannot be a hermaphrodite; you cannot be a man and a woman at the same time,\u201d Governor Mohammed said.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the founding members of the party echoed the governor\u2019s message, saying that people could not be claiming to be members of the PDP whilst working for the interest of other political parties.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST reports that the party, which has been embroiled in internal crisis for over two years now, saw its presidential candidate in 2023, Atiku Abubakar, resign from the party last week.<\/p>\n<p>The former Vice President stated that his resignation was due to irreconcilable differences that have emerged within the former ruling party.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that he found it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which, according to him, diverges from the foundational principles it stood for.<\/p>\n<p>Before him, former Senate President David Mark also resigned from the opposition party. Mark has already been announced as the interim chairman of the coalition-adopted party, ADC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
