Tambuwal quits PDP over internal crisis, defects to ADC
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives and ex-Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The ex-governor cited the PDP’s persistent internal crisis, leadership disagreements, and deepening divisions as the driving forces behind his decision.
Tambuwal 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.
