Ex-Senator Gada Switches Allegiance from ADC to PDP in Sokoto State Ahead of 2027 Elections

Former Senator Gada from Sokoto East has defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State. Gada accused former Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of lacking leadership commitment, leading to his decision to leave ADC.

Tambuwal, who was seen as a co-leader of ADC in Sokoto, failed to identify the party's structure and allegedly created confusion among supporters. Gada's return to PDP has been met with mixed reactions, with some describing it as a significant turning point for the party.

The Sokoto State chapter of PDP, however, denied any official knowledge of Gada's return, labeling it as a joke. The move is seen as a strategic political maneuver ahead of the 2027 governorship elections in Sokoto State.
