Ahmed Maccido Leaves PDP for ADC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Ahmed Maccido, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Sokoto North Senatorial District, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in preparation for the 2027 general elections. This decision was announced following Maccido's withdrawal from the senatorial contest under the PDP, a move he had previously communicated to the party without providing a reason.
Maccido was introduced to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during a meeting in Abuja, facilitated by Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the former Governor of Sokoto State and current leader of the ADC in the state. The meeting also included other senior ADC members, such as Yusuf Suleiman, the ADC Deputy Director-General of Administration, along with various party leaders and stakeholders from Sokoto State.
