He announced that he would be pitching tent with the newly registered African Democratic Congress (ADC
”
The PDP has been a significant part of my political journey, and I remain grateful for the opportunities it gave me to serve our nation, including as Speaker of the House of Representatives and as Governor of Sokoto State during my second term in office.
However, the persistent internal crisis, leadership disagreements, and growing divisions within the PDP have made it increasingly difficult to continue my membership of the party. These developments have unfortunately weakened the unity and direction that once defined the party and have necessitated this decision.
Consequently, I have today officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with my associates and supporters.”
The Senator reiterated his dedication to serving Nigeria and upholding the principles of democracy, justice, and national unity.
