Tambuwal Resigns From PDP, Joins ADC
Former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a letter dated March 11, 2026, and addressed to his ward chairman in Tambuwal/Shinfiri Ward of the Tambuwal Local Government Area, Tambuwal communicated his decision to leave the PDP with immediate effect.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives explained that his decision followed deep reflection and extensive consultations with political associates and supporters.
According to him, persistent internal crises, leadership disagreements, and growing divisions within the party had made it increasingly difficult for him to continue his membership.
Tambuwal, who served as the lawmaker representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, noted that the ongoing conflicts within the PDP had weakened the unity and direction that once defined the party.
He, however, expressed gratitude to the PDP for the opportunity it provided him to serve Nigeria in various capacities in the legislative and executive arms of government.
Following his resignation, Tambuwal has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) alongside his associates and supporters.
He further stated that his decision was guided by his conviction that Nigeria requires a stronger political platform built on integrity, accountability, inclusiveness, and a clear commitment to national development.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to the service of Nigeria and to the ideals of democracy, justice, and national unity.
