A former Deputy Minority Whip in the Federal House of Representatives, Fatima Binta Bello, has resigned her membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter dated 5th October, 2023 and addressed to the Chairman of the party in the Shongom ward, Shongom LGA of Gombe State, Hon. Binta conveyed her decision to quit the Party.
