Ex-governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC)
Tambuwal cited the PDP’s lingering internal crisis, leadership disputes and widening divisions as reasons for leaving the party.
The former governor announced his resignation in a statement posted on his X account early Thursday, confirming that he had formally communicated his decision in writing to his ward chairman before joining the ADC alongside his supporters.
“Today, after deep reflection and consultations, I have formally resigned my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, and I have communicated my resignation to my ward chairman in writing,” he said.
Tambuwal, who served as Speaker of the House of Representatives between 2011 and 2015 before becoming governor of Sokoto State, said he joined the ADC because he believes the party offers a stronger political platform for Nigeria.
“I am 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,” he said.
