Former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Tambuwal said he took his decision due to the PDP’s persistent internal crisis.
He announced his defection in a statement posted on X in the early hours of Thursday, confirming that he had communicated his resignation in writing to his ward chairman before formally enlisting in the ADC alongside his associates and 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 stated.
While acknowledging the PDP’s significance in shaping his political career — which includes stints as Speaker of the House of Representatives and a second term as Sokoto State Governor — Tambuwal said the party’s internal deterioration had made continued membership untenable.
