Peacock @dawisu.

Following extensive consultations with family, friends, and political associates we have worked closely with over time, we have resolved to move to the ADC as part of a new direction.

I have accordingly tendered my resignation from the APC and completed my registration with our new party, the ADC.

Those who are interested in joining the ADC can conveniently register using their phones via this link: adcregistration.ng. Your membership card will be issued shortly after.

We pray that Allah, in His mercy, makes this decision a good one, grants the ADC the opportunity to form government at all levels, and makee it beneficial for all Nigerians. Ameen.

Background

Salihu Tanko Yakasai (Peacock @dawisu) was the special adviser on new media to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano. Like his father Tanko Yakasai (who was Shagari's presidential liaison to the National Assembly), he is very outspoken. He doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. This has often gotten him into trouble (just like his father often got into trouble).


He annoyed some Kanawa because he defended his boss, Abdullahi Ganduje during the dollargate scandal.

He also annoyed some Kanawa because of his criticism and mocking of the former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, when the Emir had problems with Governor Ganduje.


He was suspended from office in October 2020 for criticising President Buhari over the End SARS protest.

He was reinstated a few weeks later.

However, he was sacked in February 2021 and detained by the DSS for criticising President Buhari again and asking him to resign after some school children were kidnapped by bandits.

His father said that his son was just beginning his journey and he stated that he was arrested 10 times. Salihu Tanko Yakasai then joked that he had 9 more arrests to go.

Some activists complained when he was listed as a speaker at the Soro Soke Summit in 2021

Salihu Tanko Yakasai resigned from the APC on March 21, 2022.

He once again called for President Buhari's resignation on March 29th, 2022 after an attack on a train on the Kaduna-Abuja Line.

In May 2022 he declared his intention to run for the governorship of Kano on the platform of the PRP.

And in August 2023 he returned to the APC. He said that the national chairman of the APC, Dr Ganduje, had invited him back to the APC to consolidate on the gains that he has made.

However, in recent months, especially after Ganduje was removed as APC chairman, he has become a big critic of the Bola Tinubu Administration. He claims that the Tinubu Administration only favours southerners and that the north should kick it out of office

He even had a massive exchange with Bashir Ahmad (the former spokesman of President Buhari). He was questioning why Bashir supports a southern government and stating that President Tinubu only caters to the south and that he will lose the north.

All the best to him in ADC

Welcome sir. Thats a very good decision

For you to point out the cluelessness of buhari at that time and asked him to resign, u get sense

Some defections are sponsored by political parties in order to manipulate the operation s of any political party that is a threat to the main political party. I want to believe that this case is not one of those cases.

Watch as EFCC and ICPC will remember he has not paid his taxes. Or he stole under Gandulje, the Dollarama.

You sure say this one go fit win him ward for ADC?

Let him not carry shenanigans from the former party to ADC

Some of these defections would have made sense if the new electoral law provided room for compulsory upload of electoral results. With the ruling party fully in control, I don't see the possibility of ADC making major impact. Tinubu is not like Jonathan that had to condone alot of things. He no send anyone.

Nonentity left APC for ADC

MTCHEEEEW

mumu news......Someone that has left APC since!

Some APC supporters mocked him for constantly changing parties.

Is it because Tinubu no send anyone that he is increasing tax burden on people and stealing the revenue instead of employing workers to make government services and utilities available for everyone?

Obidients will work with him. Obidients don't have directions.

Obi gave him 500b to decamp.

Good luck to him.Nothing consign us in Anambra

He'll soon run back to same APC and cook up one useless Arabian story.

Na who he be? Local Kano politician.

Someone who is only angry he was sacked by ganduje his former boss is now carrying that anger into adc to fight tinubu and you are celebrating.......someone that has been manufestly campaigning against souther ln presidency is the one you are supporting because you feel he hates tinubu while his father is in tinubu's payroll.......that kind if mindset only gets you overtly emotional and poised for failure......emotions don't win elections.

That's your own cup of tea. How many of those your stupid apc supports can stand boldly and tell tinubu that he is not getting things right. This fellow told buhari

Thumb or no thumb, he has that energy to speak up when things are wrong even to his so called masters. Take that to the bank

Which courage? Someone that defended ganduje staunchly during the gandollar saga despite the facts available....of course he couldn't say anything against his principal because he was chopping from there.......these are unprincipled men without character.. ..compare with farotimi,sowore,vdm....he doesn't even come close,even to his father.
