Alhaji Ibrahim Manzo, a former high‑ranking official of Nigeria’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has formally resigned from the party. Manzo, who previously served as the PDP’s North West Chairman and held several commissioner posts in Kebbi State—including Commissioner for Health and Commissioner for Agriculture—submitted his resignation letter on 16 September 2025. The letter, addressed to the PDP ward chairman in Dikko Ward, Argungu Local Government Area, and copied to the local government and state chairmen, cited personal reasons for his departure.
In the resignation, Manzo explained that his decision resulted from careful consideration and expressed gratitude for the support and cooperation he received from the party and its members during his tenure. His political career also includes roles such as Amirul Hajj of Kebbi State and deputy governorship candidate for the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP).
Manzo’s exit is a notable development in the Nigerian political landscape, especially in the North West region where he wielded considerable influence. The PDP, one of Nigeria’s major parties, has experienced several shifts in membership and leadership in recent years, and his resignation may reflect ongoing changes in the party’s structure and dynamics. As a former key figure, his departure could affect the party’s strategies and alliances in the region.
The resignation takes effect immediately, according to the letter. While the full implications remain uncertain, the move highlights the fluid nature of political affiliations in Nigeria and may spur speculation about Manzo’s future political endeavors, though his current plans are unclear. For now, the focus is on the formalization of his exit, marking the end of a significant chapter in his political career.
