Donald Duke Dumps PDP, Formally Joins ADC by InfoGuru118(op): 6:45pm On Jan 30

Former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has once again resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), formally pitching his tent with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Duke registered as an ADC member in Ward 5 of Calabar Municipality, where he collected his party membership card, marking his official entry into the opposition party.

His move comes amid recent internal concerns within the ADC in Cross River State. Former ADC governorship candidate, Dr Effiong Nyong, had written to the party’s National Chairman, protesting the inclusion of some individuals from the state in the ADC’s 50 Wise Men and Women Policy Manifesto Committee.

Nyong faulted a statement by the ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, which listed persons who, according to him, neither resigned from the PDP nor made contributions to the ADC, calling for their removal.

Political observers believe Duke’s swift formal registration may be linked to the controversy, as the former governor had earlier been named among prominent figures associated with the party.

Recall that Duke previously left the PDP for the Social Democratic Party (SDP), where he emerged as the party’s presidential candidate under controversial circumstances.

Meanwhile, ADC leaders in Bakassi Local Government Area have intensified calls on Cross Riverians to identify with the party, describing it as a credible alternative ahead of future elections.

Rising from a stakeholders’ meeting involving chapter executives, ward chairmen, and secretaries, party leaders accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of misrule and urged Nigerians to reclaim the country.

In a statement signed by the Bakassi Chapter Chairman, Emmanuel Asuquo, and Secretary, Eko Boco, the party reaffirmed its loyalty to the ADC national leadership, pledging support for the National Chairman, Senator David Mark, and National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, while urging undecided citizens to join the party’s “transformative agenda.”

This guy is a mole.
An ally of Wike.
I recall how he joined Wike in sabotaging Atiku’s campaign in 2023.
The party better be careful involving him in electioneering activities.

PDP should be a case study of how greed, corruption and petty ego can destroy what was standing strong

What's this idea behind closing older threads with already robust conversations in favour of newly opened ones?

Anyways the best governor to have ever governed Cross Rivers state till date, is welcome to the ADC. Tinubu cannot win the Southsouth in 2027 as Agbadorians will have you believe. He didn't win a single state in the region in 2023. So much for a self-acclaimed Southern candidate.

Obi tstmani is at work if I I leaves ADC they are empty .

Atiku you better step down now is very clear and glaring obi has more influence than you sir. You will be 81 next year y not rest and support your political younger brother obi? He is playing better opposition than u he is the one keeping APC on his toes with any governors support . He won Lagos and Abuja if not for Wike mango mango he won pH as well. Atiku a word is enough for the wise step down now for your name to be written in gold.

Tuntubi can't stand obi one on one

This will turn out to become APC's albatross. A two-horse race election will be detrimental to Tinubu's chances, irrespective of whoever is the opposition party's candidate.

This is a case of 1+1=1

No value, political force or motivation added.

ADC can’t win SUG election in any Nigerian university with the crop of politicians they have.
