Ashiru Resigns from PDP, Joins ADC Amid Leadership Crisis

On March 27, 2026, Ashiru, a former governorship candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State, officially announced his resignation from the party and his decision to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a resignation letter addressed to the PDP ward chairman of Kudan Ward in Kudan Local Government Area, Ashiru expressed deep concern over the ongoing leadership crises and internal divisions within the PDP, which he described as increasingly difficult to navigate.

He stated that the persistent internal conflicts and rancor made it challenging for him to continue participating actively as a member of the party. Ashiru emphasized that his decision was made in good faith and requested that the PDP leadership accept his resignation formally, effective immediately as of March 27, 2026.
