In a significant political development in Nasarawa State, the Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Toto Ward and the Chairman of the Chairmen Forum of PDP in Toto Local Government Area, Idris Usman Okpanaki, has tendered his resignation from the party with immediate effect.
In his resignation letter dated July 22, 2025, addressed to the PDP Chairman of Toto Ward, Okpanaki cited growing impunity, a lack of focus, and a loss of confidence in the party's principles and ideology as the major reasons behind his decision.
"This decision came as a result of impunity in the party. PDP has lost focus and I have no confidence in her principle and ideology anymore," Okpanaki stated.
Despite his resignation, the former PDP ward chairman expressed gratitude to the party for the opportunity to serve, describing his tenure as a privilege.
Political observers in the area believe this development may have far-reaching implications for the party’s structure and performance in Toto LGA, especially as the 2026 general elections draw closer.
