Senator Umeh Joins NDC After Leaving ADC Amid Crisis
Senator Umeh has officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as of May 1, 2026. His decision was influenced by ongoing internal problems and court cases that have negatively impacted the ADC's stability and progress.
Umeh explained that the need to protect his goals and build a strong opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections motivated his move. Initially, there were hopes for a coalition within the ADC to unite against the ruling party, the Progress Congress.
However, internal disputes and legal battles have created tension and uncertainty, hindering the party's ability to move forward. Umeh's transition to the NDC is aimed at finding a more stable environment for opposition leaders to collaborate effectively without distractions, thereby enhancing their chances in the upcoming elections.
