The State Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kano, Hussaini Isa Mairiga, has resigned from his position and withdrawn his membership from the party, citing frustration over what he described as the collapse of internal democracy and deepening disillusionment with Nigeria’s political system.
In his resignation letter dated October 19, and addressed to the party’s national chairman, Mairiga said Nigerian democracy had degenerated into a system driven by personal enrichment and political patronage rather than service to the people.
He lamented that internal divisions within opposition parties were often fuelled by external influences aimed at weakening them, describing the SDP’s situation as a “severe leadership crisis” with rival claims to its authentic leadership.

According to him, the lingering disputes have eroded public confidence in the party and hindered its ability to serve as a credible alternative to the ruling party.
