In a move that has shaken the Nigerian political landscape, Aminu Tambuwal has dumped the PDP for the ADC.
After years of being a top leader in the PDP, the former governor says the party has lost its "unity and direction," forcing him to seek a new political home ahead of future elections.
Tambuwal mentioned that while the PDP helped his career, the "deepening divisions" in the party made his continued membership "untenable" (meaning he couldn't stay anymore).
He believes the African Democratic Congress offers a more inclusive environment built on accountability and justice.
The news first broke on X (formerly Twitter) in the early hours of Thursday, following deep consultations with his team.
Having served as a two-term governor and a Speaker, Tambuwal remains a heavy hitter in Nigerian politics, and his move to the ADC is expected to change the power balance in the North.
