ADC Disowns Former Senator Gada Amid Defection Claims in Sokoto State
The African Democrat Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State has officially disowned Gada, a former senator, dismissing reports of his defection to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 general elections. Alhaji Bello Isiyaku Keegan, the state chairman of ADC, clarified that Gada's name does not appear in the party's official membership registry at any level.
Gada, who represented Sokoto East Senatorial District from 2007 to 2011 under the People's Democratic Party, was described as making false claims in the public domain. The ADC chairman emphasized the party's commitment to building a credible political platform based on integrity and inclusivity.
Gada's purported return to the PDP was seen as an attempt to rebuild the party and contest in the upcoming elections, revealing underlying leadership challenges within the coalition. The move highlighted the evolving political landscape in Sokoto State.
