Abdussamad Dasuki Resigns from PDP, Joins ADC
Abdussamad Dasuki, the representative for Tambuw Kebbi Federal Constituency in Sokoto State, formally resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) on March 15, 2026. In his resignation letter addressed to the PDP chairman of Dogon Daji Salah Ward, Dasuki cited a protracted leadership crisis within the party that has significantly weakened its capacity to function effectively and lead as an opposition party.
He noted that persistent internal challenges have made it difficult for the PDP to provide a credible alternative necessary for strengthening Nigeria's democracy. Following his resignation, Dasuki joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), explaining that this move would enable him to collaborate with like-minded patriots committed to addressing the country's current socio-economic and political challenges.
He expressed gratitude to PDP members for their support during his time in the party and reaffirmed his commitment to serving the people of Tambuw Kebbi Federal Constituency in Sokoto State.
