In a resignation letter dated December 22, 2025, addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Tudun Wada South Ward, Chanchaga Local Government Area, Minna, MaiBasira expressed gratitude for the opportunities he received while serving in various national and auxiliary roles.
He described the decision as “painstakingly onerous,” reflecting on his long-standing loyalty to the PDP since his initial registration.

The resignation represents a notable development within the PDP, given MaiBasira’s influence within the party’s youth, religious, and political structures nationwide.
