The former member representing Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency, Danjuma Usman Shiddi, has formally resigned his membership from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing concerns over the current political climate and its implications for his future and constituents.

In a resignation letter dated March 18, 2026, and addressed to the party chairman of Puje Ward in Wukari Local Government Council, Shiddi said his decision followed “further personal reflection” after initially joining the party with optimism about its vision and platform.

He noted that the “gathering clouds of uncertainty within the current political landscape” could jeopardise both his long-term political ambitions and the interests of the people he represents in Taraba State.

As a result, he announced that his strategic alignment with the party was no longer compatible.

“It truly hurts to leave,” Shiddi stated, acknowledging the relationships he built within the party. He described members of the ADC as “exceptional leaders” and expressed appreciation for the support he received during his time with the party.

Despite his departure, Shiddi emphasised his commitment to serving his community, stating that he must seek “a path that offers the clarity required” to effectively represent the people of Taraba State.

He also requested that his name be removed from the party’s membership database and extended his best wishes to the ADC in its future endeavours.

Copies of the resignation letter were confirmed to have been sent to the ADC chairman in Wukari Council, the party’s state chairman in Taraba, and the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.

2027 is Nigerians vs ADC. In 2014 people were resigning from the PDP and Joining the newly formed APC. In 2026, people are resigning from the newly-formed ADC and joining the APC. No hope for opposition.

Atiku is power drunk. He'll just give tinubu the opportunity to come back needlessly. Maybe after this run, he will go into perpetual retirement

That was the beauty of democracy until Tinubu happened. He's practically splurging cash and using a combination of inducement and coercion to try to get everyone to decamp to his party. As if that were not enough and out of paranoia that there may be mass exodus out of the overbloated APC from those who will lose out in the primaries, he changed the electoral law to make that impossible. He forgot that one may take a horse to the river but twenty cannot force it to drink. Time is a gentleman.

How can a newly formed coalition party be facing all sorts of imbalance

Why is it difficult for these people to drop their selfish interests, promote fairness within the party and give Nigerians a better choice in 2027 elections

Na wa o

Angelfrost:
Lol... INEC will have so much fun writing results in 2027.

Peliman:
Even Tinubu will be shocked with this ur statement. He isn't afraid of Atiku but at the mention of Obi he always have sleepless nights.Get Obi out of the contest and u won't see Tinubu running up and down.

Apc supporters always like to create their own happiness.

benardtotti:
The difference is Apc is made up of battle hardened politicians who came up from fighting the military to being the first opposition after the return to democracy in 99, then they now have a wily old fox PBat as president and leader , it will be very difficult defeating that combo.
