THUR MAR 12 2026-theGBJournal|”Today, after deep reflection and consultations, I have formally resigned my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and I have communicated my resignation to my ward chairman in writing,” said Aminu Waziri Tambuwal as he dumps the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
His move on Wednesday, comes amid lingering internal disputes and leadership tensions with the PDP that have continued to unsettle the party’s national structure, and it marks a another major realignment in Nigeria’s shifting political landscape.
According to Tambuwal, who was also the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, ”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.”
Tambuwal said he is convinced that this decision is guided by my belief that Nigeria needs a stronger political platform built on integrity, accountability, inclusiveness, and a clear commitment to national development.
”I remain fully committed to the service of our country and to the ideals of democracy, justice, and national unity.”
His move is expected to reshape political alignments in Sokoto State and potentially influence broader opposition dynamics ahead of future elections.
