Ex-ADC Leader Sa’idu Declares Party Dead in Kaduna
Alhaji Muhammad Bashir Sa’idu, a former chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and ex-Commissioner of Finance, announced the party's demise in Kaduna State after his defection with over 200,000 members to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This declaration occurred during a ceremony in Zaria on Saturday, where he was joined by notable figures including Alhaji Jafaru Sani, a former ADC gubernatorial aspirant, and Senator Suleiman Abdu Kwari.
Sa’idu stated that his group, the Kaduna De-Initiatives, was foundational to ADC's structure but felt the party was hijacked by a few individuals. He noted that they had built ADC with significant effort but found the leadership unacceptable.
Following an emergency meeting, they decided to return to APC, claiming that ADC now lacks any bona fide politicians and that their defection eliminated opposition in Kaduna State. Governor Uba Sani praised Sa’idu's principled nature and expressed joy over the defection.
