Mrs Mole Istifanus
By Akanji Alowolodo, Gombe
The aspiration of main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reclaim power in Gombe State on Thursday suffered a major setback as it lost the membership of one of its strong mobilizers, a North-East Ex-officio of the party, Mrs Mole Istifanus Bennet.
Mole Istifanus who was the immediate past State Women Leader of the party in the state tendered her resignation from the party without stating the reason for her resignation but it may not unconnected with her displeasure the way the party is running its affairs recently.
Her letter of resignation dated 3rd November, 2022 was addressed to the PDP Chairman of her Kaltungo West Ward and was delivered to the party.
She however thanked the party for the opportunity given to her to serve and be part of it until Thursday, 3rd November, 2022 when she resigned.
The letter reads in parts, “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 given me the opportunity to serve”, She further wrote.
It was however gathered that her resignation is not unconnected with the protest she led some women against what she termed as injustice mated on them by the Party and the gubernatorial candidate, Muhammed Barde and his use of offensive language against the women folk over his comment in a leaked audio trending in the social media.
Muhammad Barde’s purported telephone conversation with some party stalwarts was leaked where he called some prominent stalwarts of the party different names.
Though his campaign office had denied the authenticity of the audio, he was at the party secretariat where he publicly apologized to those whose names were mentioned in the leaked audio.
