 HAGHER DECRIES EXISTENTIAL THREATS, RESIGNS FROM PDP



A former presidential aspirant of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prof Iyorwuese Hagher, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


Prof. Hagher,  a former minister, ambassador and senator, announced this in a letter dated January 22, 2024 addressed to the PDP chairman, Utange Ward in Katsina-Ala local government area of Benue State.


He said his ward had been beset by existential threats which had made political partisanship a risk.

“We have lost greatly and the choice of  political partisanship over good and responsible governance and peace building in our community is a source of personal pain and excruciating political purposelessness.


“I shall continue to be a father to you, in the PDP, APC and non-partisans to help find a way to assuage our pains in our ward, Benue State and Nigeria. We shall help rebuild a new hope for a greater country with love, compassion and integrity,” Hagher said.
