According to the lawmaker, his resignation takes immediate effect following extensive consultations with political stakeholders and supporters.

The lawmaker emphasized that his constituents deserve a political platform that can better address their needs and future aspirations.
Despite his departure, Isa expressed gratitude to the PDP for providing him the opportunity to serve and for supporting his journey to the National Assembly
Ali Isa currently represents the Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
