Former Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda made the remark in a letter sent to PDP Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff.

Former Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda has said that he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because of the $2.1 billion arms deal fraud in which some top members of the party were allegedly involved.

Yuguda made the remark in a letter sent to PDP Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff and obtained by Punch.

The letter reads:

“I wish to tender my resignation as a member of the PDP effective from today, Saturday, 23rd April, 2016. My decision was informed by the shocking revelations on the embezzlement of $2.1bn meant for the procurement of arms to fight insurgency and reduce the sufferings of the victims of the insurgency.

“This dastardly act by the leadership and members of the government of the PDP has left a moral burden on all the members of the PDP. With $500m, the lives of the over two million deprived Internally Displaced Persons would have been better today.

“I was a governor from the zone who received no material or financial support from the then Federal Government, and was also a witness to the wasting of human lives and properties because of the non-availability of fighting equipment and relief materials.

“The realisation that the funds were embezzled which led to the death of thousands of women, children, young men and unarmed members of the Nigerian security forces have made it impossible for me to continue my membership of the party.

“He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. Rationality, morality and common sense suggest that the PDP chairman should have cleared his name before aspiring to that position. In an ideal country, an allegation against a public officer compels him to resign his appointment.

“In view of the foregoing reasons and my hard-earned reputation and other track records, I cannot be part of the characters that formed the present PDP leadership, as such, I do resign my membership of the party.”

The arms deal fraud is believed to have been supervised by former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.

Yugudah, i hope you're not trying to dethrone the lying king? (lie moha)




Bastard son of a thousand father's.

Couldn't he have left without throwing his ex party members under a speeding train? Left cos of arms deal or because PDP Bauchi has already been interred ?

The guy is a goat, he can't even lie convincingly..

First time he left PDP, he went to ANPP & got the gubernatorial ticket (PDP schemed him out & Bubu raised his hands up), won then promptly returned to PDP.. Now it's Armsgate,

I'm holding my breath for his "reasons" when he finally darts into APC ( Ray Charles can see it from his grave) with his tails between his legs........ Politicians ehn!!
