The immediate past Secretary to the State Government in Bauchi State and Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, Banister Ibrahim Kashim, has resigned from the party.
In a resignation letter dated July 21, 2025 and addressed to the Chairman, Majidadi Ward on Monday, Kashim announced his defection but did not state the reason.
“Be that as it may, after due consideration. I wish to formally notify you that I have, effective the date of this letter, resigned my membership of the PDP and hope to explore other avenues of seeking the mandate of our people to serve them with the same commitment, passion, honesty of purpose, trustworthiness and above all fear of Allah SWT,” he said.
Kashim extended gratitude to the leadership of his ward for giving him the opportunity to be a member of PDP, which ultimately led to his being honored with nomination as the flag bearer of the party to contest the gubernatorial election in the state during the 2023 national elections.

Recall that a few months to the 2023 governorship election, Kashim stepped down his candidacy for Governor Bala Mohammed who contested the presidential ticket of the Party.
In support of the Governor, Kashim said he traversed across all Local Government areas of Bauchi during the campaign “even as I discharged my responsibilities as the Secretary to the State Government, to ensure, against all odds and historical challenges of second term candidates winning in the local government, that we delivered and won in virtually all wards.”
Kashim resigned from the government in January 2025, saying that he was instructed by the governor to tender his resignation.
Daily Trust gathered that Kashim is eyeing the governorship seat.
